Turning Careers into Choices

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Do you have a hobby-something you really enjoy doing in your spare time? Perhaps you love gardening, making jewelry, painting, caring for animals, taking photographs, performing or hiking. Like many people, you may dream of spending less time at work and more time enjoying your pastime. Maybe you can spend time on your hobby while you earn a living! It is possible to turn your hobby into a full-fledged career.

The way you make a living should reflect who you are as an individual. When choosing an occupation, you must take into account your interests, personality, and work-related values. Given the amount of time you spend at work, it is essential to enjoy what you do while you are there. It is mind-boggling that most people don't give any consideration to the leisure activities they enjoy when they are deciding what they want to do to make a living.

Perhaps it's because even Webster's Dictionary defines a hobby as "a pursuit outside one's regular occupation" ( Merriam-Webster Online). You should consider breaking that rule. Not only will you enjoy your job, but you will probably be very good at it. There's a good chance you have skills related to your hobby. Why not earn your living doing something you both enjoy and at which you excel.

You may ask yourself, "Who's going to hire someone who loves making jewelry?" Good question. With some hobbies, you may not have to wait for someone to hire you. Instead, you can start your own business. That may be the best way to incorporate your hobby into your career.

Those whose pastimes involve creating things, for example, jewelry, clothing, or pottery, may do well to sell those items on their own. Before you go forward with your plans, though, you should find out whether being an entrepreneur is for you. Susan Ward has written an article that will help you decide if you have what it takes to be self-employed.

Let's say you decide that running a small business isn't for you. You can still turn your hobby into a career, but you may have to get some formal training. Let's go back to the person who loves making beaded jewelry. He or she probably knows the latest jewelry styles, has an understanding of what styles look good on different people and also is skilled in using the tools of the trade.

Several options exist for him or her. That individual could take classes to learn how to be a jewelry designer or even get a college degree. Alternatively, he or she could become a jewelry buyer for a department store or become a salesperson in a jewelry store. He or she could also learn to become a jeweler by taking courses at a trade school or doing an apprenticeship.

While many people have great success when they incorporate their hobby into their career, this option isn't a good one for everyone. One reason is that your hobby may not translate well into a career. You should do your homework to make sure you will be able to make a living. You may really love spending all day doing something you would do even if you weren't getting paid for it, but reality will kick in when you can't make enough money to live on.

Another reason is that even if you enjoy your hobby tremendously, you may not have what it takes to make a living doing it. For example, you may derive great pleasure from training your 34 parakeets to sing the National Anthem, but that doesn't mean you are cut out to be an animal trainer.

Whether you choose a career based on your pastime or on something else, you should research your choice thoroughly. If you find out there are aspects that you would not like about it, stick to your day job, as they say, and save your hobby for your free time.

using Google Maps, learn about Black History.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Like Black history itself, my journey contains multitudes. It began in New York City, where I grew up during the rise of the civil rights movement. The social politics of the time didn't encourage me-a woman of color--to pursue a career in science, technology or math. But thankfully my father did. He built me my first chemistry set, encouraging me to build, create and fix things even as my childhood lab experiments went awry.

This empowerment pushed me to earn a PhD, land my first job at AT&T Bell Laboratories, and eventually come to Google. Along the way, I kept trying to fix whatever problems I faced. At AT&T, I patented inventions that helped create Voice Over Internet Protocol (or VoIP, the technology behind communication like text messages), and the technology behind text donations that were popular during the 2010 Haiti earthquake. At Google, I've worked with teams to find ways to bring internet connections to more places with things like Project Loon and the deployment of Wi-Fi across India's railway system.

There were no shortcuts to these challenges, but I forged ahead inspired by two things: my passion for fixing things and knowing that others before me had taken similar paths (and succeeded!).

Black history is filled with stories of people like myself who set out on journeys to challenge the status quo and make things better. Today, in collaboration with the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture and The Moorland-Spingarn Research Center at Howard University, we celebrate some of these historic and contemporary journeys. Take a guided tour with Google Earth's "The Journey of Us" collection to explore how Black history has shaped the American experience and continues to move us forward across themes like advocacy, business, dance, education, film, TV and technology.
