We all want to be Sarah Jessica Parker from Sex and the City, with the perfect work-life balance and doing something we love, but how do we find a career we love? Through trial and testing. It's simple: you can't know unless you try new things out! Every young person out there wants to have a career they are passionate about but what most miss out on is the hard work that goes into finding what they love. To live the life you want and find the work you love, you have to keep a few things in mind.
START WITH WHAT INTERESTS YOU
Put a stop to the zillion questions racing through your head and begin with what you find appealing. It doesn't necessarily have to be a liking; it can just be an interest in something. Not everyone knows what they like and that's okay. Our 20s and even 30s provide us with the luxury to experiment; don't be afraid of getting it wrong. Most people do. You need to go through multiple trials and errors to discover what you're truly passionate about.
