The best work, the best career, for you is going to be one that uses: your favourite transferable skills, in your favourite subjects, fields, in a job that offers you your preferred working conditions, with your preferred salary or rewards, working towards your preferred goals and values. This require self-inventory.

The more time you give to it, the better your choice is going to be. There is a penalty for seeking “quick and dirty” fixes.

You don’t have to get it right, the first time; it’s okay to make a mistake, in your choice. You will likely have time to correct it, down the road, regardless of your age. Most of us have three to five careers, during our lifetime.

Try to make the task as much fun as possible. The more fun you are having, the more you are doing it right.
