* What Career Is Right For Me *
- The Real Career Landscape
If you can figure out how to get a reasonably accurate picture of the real career landscape out there, you have a massive edge over everyone else, most of whom will be using outdated conventional wisdom as their career counselor.
- The Career Tunnel
Careers used to be kind of like a 40-year tunnel. You picked your tunnel, and once you were in, that was that. You worked in that profession for 40 years or so before the tunnel spit you out on the other side into your retirement.
Today’s career landscape isn’t a lineup of tunnels, it’s a massive, impossibly complex, rapidly changing science laboratory.
- Why Proper Career Planning is Important.
Unlike this picture just don't get into anything. Instead plan properly, cause it is going to affect the following,
- Time :- A typical career will take up somewhere between 20% and 60% of your meaningful adult time.
- Quality of Life :- Your career has a major effect on all your non-career hours.
- Impact:- Whatever shape your career path ends up taking, the world will be altered by it.
- Identity :- We tell people about our careers by telling them what we are.
- List the careers you want/find desirable.
- List all careers that are realistic to potentially achieve.
- Find the overlapping areas between what is desirable, and what is possible.
- The general landscape,
- Specific careers,
- Where your Starting point is (based on your current skills, resources, and connections relevant to that field),
- Your Success point/Endpoint,
- Your estimate of your pace of improvement,
- Your level of persistence, and
- you are able to plot your career path forward.
