The one that pays you the most. They all suck. At least suffer for the most money.
There is no career that is FOR YOU.
All you can do is try. Try to be good, then wok to great. If in the event that you “fail” which means your career choice didn’t do what it should do meaning happiness, you pivot.
Life is ultimately about the pivot. You may love the smallest things. Think about that.
People get their MBA’s, their PHD’s, their JD/MBA’s because they are constantly chasing something. They are chasing what they deem to be “their greatness” or their “ultimate goal” whatever that is.
Ultimately, don’t look around which is tough in this day age and easier said than done. FOCUS ON TOU UNTIL THE FOCUS IS ON YOU.
Develop a routine that makes you happy, set goals, cross lists off your check list, and when you sleep well at night, this will all seem ordinary.
Most importantly, continue to grow…and be fearless in your journey.
