Determine Type of Job You Would Enjoy Most
Now on the worksheet provided, write down your fantasy job. What would that job be if there were no boundaries such as education, age or location? List at least three in the order of greatest desire. Do not be afraid of being ridiculous. These fantasy jobs will be a great determining factor in what type of job you really enjoy, and who knows, maybe someday it might not be a fantasy any more.
Maybe right now you just need a job to pay the bills, but will this job bring ultimate career fulfillment? And how will the job meet your financial goals for the future? Will you be able to send your children to college on this type of job? Will it provide you a retirement income?
How long has it been since you thought about a passion that burns within you? What was the dream you left behind with your youth? What was it that you always knew you were born to do, until life took you on another course? Dare to dream again. It is OK. God has called us to be dreamers. The bigger your dreams, the more you are likely to accomplish.
Psalm 37:4 KJ Delight thyself also in the Lord; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.
Mark 11:24 KJ Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.
There is no reason to think that you cannot do the job you really want to do. Maybe not today, but it can be a goal that you can work toward. Maybe your dream job is being a doctor. Analyze if it truly is a realistic goal, one that you can achieve with God's help. Sure it takes a lot of education, but you can go to school. It will take you a long time, but if you are willing and you really want to do it, you can get there.
Phillipians 4:13 KJ I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
Maybe being a doctor is your dream job, but it just isn't realistic for you, or isn't your calling. What is it about being a doctor that causes you to feel that it is a dream job? Is it the income, helping people, or working in the scientific/medical field? If one of those things are what make this a dream job, there are other avenues where you can pursue those things.
There are a lot of careers that have very lucrative incomes, even more so than being a doctor. Also there are many careers out there that are involved in helping people. The same is true with careers in the medical field. Put some thought into your dream job. Put it down on the worksheet provided and then think about why it really is your dream job.
