Hey Inferius: Thought I would chime in here. I personally don't do anything assocaited with my degree but I have a job that I really love and I am very good at it. I tried a bunch of different jobs until I got to where I am however. I took a few jobs that were "building blocks". I mean jobs where the experience would transfer over pretty much no matter what I did. For Instance I sold retail at Nordstroms and eventually went into the management. Exp on resume: cust service, communication, sales, management, all from a 2 year gig.

The best advice I could give you is don't look for a job for fulfillment or meaning in your life. A job is where you get paid and you make money. I think US people like us tend to look for meaning and find our worth or values in our jobs. Find out who you are, what are your ethics, what do you believe, etc, and go be that person no matter what you choose to do. The best people I have ever worked with have all seemed to have this in common, whether they are stoners, skaters, yuppies, you name it.... All the best dude!!
RichieRich Reviewed by RichieRich on . A Career So, i'm at the age where I starting to seriously contemplate my future career. And i'm wondering, What made you pick your job? I grew up thinking your purpose was to do something meaningful, something that interests you deeply, but now I'm becoming confused... Do you think you made the right choice? What kind of advice can you older folk offer a youngling starting to swim into the deep end? Rating: 5
