1. Choosing YOUR Career

2. Think about… Work you are great at. Work you are passionate about
Naturally or with training
Work you are passionate about
You daydream about it…you mind wanders there
Work that matters
Fills your life with meaning and purpose. You make a difference.
Work you find meaningful
This is what you should be doing

3. Work you are well paid to do
Work that calls to you
Speaks to your heart…draws you in
Work that inspires you
To go above and beyond
Work you are well paid to do
You are rewarded for your hard work, ideas, insights, knowledge
Work you love
You’d pay to do it! You feel lucky to be doing it.

4. Your Ideal Career: “When your great passion meets the world’s great need.”

5. But…what about the money?
What is your desired lifestyle???
Would your desired career be able to fund the lifestyle you want/need?

6. Your future is being built NOW!
What are you doing NOW to get yourself to that career?
- What training does it require? Which type of training does the industry prefer?
- Do you meet the admission requirements?
- Do you really know what it takes? (job shadow)
Choose your high school and post-high school jobs to get you closer to your goal!!
- You want to be a chef? Why are you working at Target?
- You want to be a fashion designer? Why are you working at McDonald’s?

7. “Success will never be a big step in the future,
success is a small step
taken just now.”
