My life is really crazy and disorganised right now.
I passed my final exams last summer and I'm still trying to figure out what I want to do.
I'm glad, that my parents give me time to find out what I want to do. I know not everybody has this opportunity. But my inner voice is slowly telling me that I'm running out of time. The past 3/4 year has definitely not been wasted. I learned a lot about myself and my interests.
To me, finding the right job, isn't about
earning a lot of money. It's about finding something you are
interested in (and maybe passionate about) and something that makes you
happy.
In a way that you can imagine it to be forever (as long as you work).
My dream job is being a musician or an artist. Music has been and always will be in my life! It helped me through hard times and is the only hobby, that makes me feel like I belong there. It's my passion, but with being an artist it's not always that easy to earn money.
As a musician, I believe, you've to believe in yourself and your music. Even though I've people saying that they like my music, I'm still not convinced that I'm good enough to do it as my main job.
I once had this dream that somebody took all my instruments away because I couldn't earn enough money with being an artist/musician. This scene is going round in the back of my head.
I don't need to be a superstar! I'm just loving music so much, that this would (interest-wise) be the perfect job for me! But, for now, I'll keep it as a hobby next to an alternative job.
Finding an alternative that suits myself best is, however, really hard if you're interested in a lot of things.
My biggest passion is in the creativity field with music, writing songs/poems/books/short stories and so on.
In addition, I'm interested archeology, geography, psychology and medicine.
Luckily, I feel like my search is coming to an end in the next weeks.
I know now that I want to work in the health field, maybe in a rehabilitation clinic being a P.A.(physician assistant), psychiatrist or nutritionist is going through my mind. Or maybe a MTA
(medical technical assistant). I need to think about that deeper!
For all of you, who are searching as well:
Maybe it's helpful to look at what you loved doing when you were a child.
Well, obviously, I liked painting, music, songwriting, writing books, being a regisseur and actress in my self written shows, recording pod casts with my mobile phone and being in the nature (discovering, getting inspired, finding out about yourself...).
And I loved to observe people (not in an obsessive/stalker-like way) and learn how they feel and why they react good/bad to something said.
What was most important for me was trying to figure out who I am and which job would suit best.
I'm usually a quiet person. I like to observe and then act (depending on the situation I can be very spontaneous and out-going as well.)
I need to be given some freedom and space to not feel overwhelmed by situations.
I recently
stumbled across the page of Elaine Aron (a psychiatrist) and
read one of her books.
This helped me a lot to accept the way I am.
Another thing that helped is to take a step back and try to imagine how other people see you.
Or you can ask your family, friends, neighbours or/and maybe teacher for helpful tips and ask them
- what they think could be a job for you
- how they see you as a person
(your character traits...what you are good in, what you are not so good in)
And, most important, never give up hope!
Believe in yourself, because you are great the way you are!!!
