Who are the right people? This is the tough question.

# data[].attributes.body
Choose a career that you’re passionate about! For me I always loved working with children. I started as a preschool teacher at a large Boston hospital and stayed for 10 years. Several years later I decided to become a pediatric nurse, quite a different environment from a preschool classroom, but I was still working with children which makes my heart happy!! I’m now a school nurse and love it.

If your path is not clear to you, if you don't feel a genuine passion for something, do not get down on yourself. Take what you do well and is marketable and excel at it.  Diligence and excellence are transferable.  A marketing executive told me of her best hire being a former ballerina with no marketing experience, but who had a tremendous work ethic,  Two accountants and an electrical engineer I know became medical doctors.  All four examples excelled at something that was not their passion but their performance led them to the careers they became passionate about.

I would tell myself that sometimes when you first graduate from college your don't get the perfect job.  Entry level positions don't always align with your passions but they can be instrumental in developing skills that you will need later.  My first position was in a field I didn't love, but I learned skills in sales, public speaking, marketing, teamwork and problem-solving that were key tools I use constantly today.  Work hard at those entry-level jobs and learn everything you can and they will take you places where you ultimately want to be.

# data[].attributes.body
Know and trust yourself.

# data[].attributes.body
What you think you're going to do be doing for work is likely not what you will end up doing! I can think of maybe 3 of my friends who actually work in the job/industry they went to college for. And that's ok! We change and evolve and so do our interests, families, etc.
Also, a friend (age 50) recently became a reading tutor and said she NEVER would have seen herself working in a school at age 20. (She's been a theater major, small business owner, playwright...)

# data[].attributes.body
Do what you love. Major in what brings you joy. Leverage your time and skills.

# data[].attributes.body
Don't take it so seriously.

# data[].attributes.body
First and foremost - love what you do and if you choose a career that you don't like - CHANGE IT!  Never feel like you're stuck.  Educating yourself is key.  We can all reinvent ourselves at any age.  No matter what!  Keep your focus and keep up-to-date with changing technologies where applicable.  One other piece of advice - life will always be about learning, not just in college, but beyond.  Always believe that you are capable of learning at any age.  Be open to new ideas, and new adventures!

# data[].attributes.body
Never be afraid to try, even if what you are applying for isn't exactly in the "box" of your college degree. Never be afraid to get your foot in the door. Only then can you show the employer who you really are and sell your skills. If you stay outside looking in, you'll miss an opportunity.

# data[].attributes.body
Talk to everyone you can about their jobs and find what sounds interesting to you.

# data[].attributes.body

Don't hesitate to reach out and connect with others - send a virtual note to indicate your interest in someone's work, request information, offer support, etc. I learned late in my career of the importance of proactive networking and wish I had used some of the strategies I discovered of late earlier in my career.

# data[].attributes.body
Say "yes" to everything in your 20s. Every skill you acquire, every connection you make, will be an advantage in the long run.

One piece of advice would to not limit yourself and the things you could accomplish. 19 year old me was set on a particular major how everything should be... give yourself time and care to create room for the things you are passionate about.

# data[].attributes.body
Relax-- you will figure it out! Trust yourself because there is no one right answer or one right way to be.

# data[].attributes.body
It is okay to not know what you want to do. It is okay to try something out and realize that you don't enjoy it. Sometimes it's in doing things you don't enjoy that you are even more able to discover the things that you do.

# data[].attributes.body
Take your time. Follow what makes you feel most alive.
You don't have to find your "one thing." We are multidimensional beings with multidimensional strengths and interests. While we are culturally encouraged to focus on a single subject, find ways to explore various interests. You can live many dreams and wear many hats in one lifetime.
Also... Comparison is the thief of joy!

# data[].attributes.body

Look at the market and see what skills and are considered valuable and yes compare that to what you are studying
In whatever you study, build skill set that you can leverage.

# data[].attributes.body
I dont understand this ? "Managing"? You mean "balancing"?

# data[].attributes.body
I was fortunate that accepting my first offer for a full time teaching position at a college panned out in all the right ways. But I think I was very lucky; in hindsight, I might have given myself more time to think about my options before jumping at something so quickly.

Try to have a balance between your career and following your passions. It is best if your passion happens to be something that pays you and can ultimately be your career as well, If not ,then make sure that your career affords you time and money to pursue your true passions.

# data[].attributes.body
Don’t be afraid to explore opportunities outside of your comfort zone or vision. Every opportunity builds your network which may lead you to a future opportunity.

# data[].attributes.body
Google the “Ship of Theseus,” and remember that passions evolve over time (or change entirely); always explore the fundamentals of what matters, not just what’s important in the moment.

It is okay to be unsure about what you would like to do in the future. For now, pick a direction that will make you the happiest and don’t look back! Your path is not defined at 18, or even at 22 if that’s when you graduate! Your path is ever evolving.  Also, remember that if something is difficult or challenging it is an opportunity to grow!

# data[].attributes.body
You can be more than one thing, and you don't have to decide now.

# data[].attributes.body
If I could give one piece of advice to my 19-year-old self about managing careers and passions it would be to prioritize your passion, goals, and ambitions over what others perceive you should be doing at a that point in your life. There may never be a point in life again where the world is truly your oyster!

# data[].attributes.body
Take a moment to slow things down, breath and make that passion/event a lifelong memory.

# data[].attributes.body
Don't stress about finding the perfect career because there isn't one, and your happiness isn't going to stem from your job.

# data[].attributes.body
Be brave. Don't settle.

# data[].attributes.body
Take something from every single opportunity you experience. As those experiences add up, your passions will bubble to the surface. THAT is what you should be doing for a career.

# data[].attributes.body
Focus on your path, not the path others have taken before you.

# data[].attributes.body
Your job may not always be the thing in your life that brings you joy. That's ok. Especially early in your career when you're just starting out and gaining experience and work can be a bit of a grind. Make sure that you have other things in your life - friends, family, hobbies - that keep your life balanced.

# data[].attributes.body
Do not overthink or plan too much -- take each day one step at at time.
Enjoy the moment.
Be present.

# data[].attributes.body
Take your work very seriously but don't take yourself too seriously!

# data[].attributes.body
There is a great deal of talk about dreams and goals, but you should focus on actions and experiences.  Dreams count for almost nothing; actual work and actual experience is everything.  Don't be scared.  Don't get distracted.
Just get out there and do something.

# data[].attributes.body
Focus.  And, when you loose your focus, expend the energy to refocus.  The more you do this the better you will become at the process and the end result.

# data[].attributes.body
The job you will have 20 years from now doesn't exist today.

# data[].attributes.body
It took me well into my 30's to realize the type of work I like to do.  It's not about the field, it's about the type of job in your field.

# data[].attributes.body
Time is on your side.

# data[].attributes.body
