Finding Your Passion & Making It Your Job

Emma Rosen suggests asking yourself 3 questions to help clarify what kind of work you should do. They are "What skills do you want to be using at work?" -- Do you like to lead a team, write or solve problems? "What do you want to get out of work?" -- It could be the chance to change the world or to enjoy variety or, say, autonomy in the workplace -- and "What kind of working environment would you prefer?" -- Do you want to work in an office or outdoors, for a big company or start your own? How about you? Respond to Emma's 3 questions in this post.

Emma also suggests it is important to do multiple work placements in a range of careers. That way you can choose a job based on knowledge and experience rather than assumptions, hearsay and expectations. Is this something you would like to try? If so, how could you make it happen?

Emma characterises herself as a wide achiever rather than a high achiever and suggests that the 'porfolio career' where one does a range of part time, freelance and contract jobs will become more common. Can you see yourself having such a career?

Finally, Emma says when it comes to work, "ultimately it is all about happiness." Do you agree? What would be the one thing, above all else, that would make you happy in a job?
