The process of arriving at a career you love is a journey.
"There is nothing better for a person than to enjoy their work!" - King Solomon
You will be spending a lot of time at work, it would be good if you enjoyed it!
When considering the risk to reward ratio, beginning this process in high school will favor a good return on your time and money spent.
Finding a career you love is a process that takes time, effort and strategy.
The information below will help you envision the process and give you practical steps forward. Utilizing these strategies will help you find your own individual path
and equip you for what is ahead moving you toward a fulfilling career and your own individual career academic plan (ICAP).
My boss keeps ratcheting up the hours that have to be worked and it has reached the point where I would rather do anything than go to work. The problem is that I can’t quit: I have a family and so much debt that if I were to quit my job, the foreclosure and repossession wouldn’t be far behind. What can I do?
The PROBLEM: If you get in a job you don't like and have a lot of debt, you can become stuck.
The SOLUTION: Make Deliberate Choices Now! So let's take the time now to explore careers and get involved in the world around you so you can determine a path of interest. This is exploration so your path may lead to other paths which is part of the journey.
This may take some extra effort on the front end, but will yield a high rate of return:
work you love!
In determining which direction you want to go, having a compass and knowing how to use it will help you get to your destination. When trying to determine your career path, exploring the world around you and the problems within it will help you find your vision and prepare you for what lies ahead.
Implementing these processes and strategies will develop the kind of transferable skills employers are searching for and give you skills necessary to direct your own path.
Furthermore, according to the State-Mandated ICAP Requirements students are required to participate in Service or Work-based Learning activities.
The EducationALIVE process utilizes service and work-based learning activities to equip students for their future and help them determine their career path.
Administrators: Students coming to understand this process and then given the space to execute it will fulfill their individual career academic plan and go on to have fulfilling careers.
Seeing where life takes you can be enjoyable and informative.
