If you’ve assessed your strengths, skills, and interests, you should have a list of careers to think about. It’s useful to have a long list, with at least ten career choices because there is no such thing as just one dream career. Lots of careers could be a great match for you. Your next step is to think about some achievable goals. To make your top career choice a reality, what are you going to work towards in the next few months? And in the next few years? Create a document or spreadsheet. List down all the steps you can take to achieve your goals – and add a date you’d like to achieve them. Is there a grade you want to get on a school project or exam? A course you’d like to research? An hour you’d like to spend finding online interviews with people doing your dream job? Your goals can be small or large. They can be achieved this evening or next year – but they must be achievable. Create your list of achievable goals, add do-by dates, and you’ve taken a big step to not only choosing a career but setting your dream in motion.

Think about your dream career. There is an old saying that if you’re trying to choose a career, you should think about what you would do if you didn’t have to work. If you had a million dollars and you could do anything, what would you do? Your answer to that question, while maybe not literally the best career choice for you, may give you insight into what you should do.  If you want to be a music star, consider going into audio engineering or music composition. These careers are easier to pursue and you will be much more likely to succeed and provide for yourself in the future.  For example, if you want to be an actor, consider going into media broadcasting. You can get a degree in communications or work your way up the chain of command in local news or another television studio.  For instance, if you want to travel the world, consider becoming an airline steward or stewardess. This is a great way to make a living and pursue your dream of traveling the globe.

Assess your hobbies. It is very easy to turn your hobbies or something you love doing into a future career. Many hobbies correspond to real-world needs and positions. Consider what you like to do and how that might fit into a career. Remain humble as you work toward your goal. You may want to work part-time as you get referrals and experience in your desired career.  For example, if you like playing video games, consider becoming a video game designer, or programmer.  If you like drawing or art, consider becoming a graphic designer.  If you like sports, consider hosting a sports camp or becoming an assistant coach.
