"I was going to be a doctor because my sister was a doctor. I interned in a doctor's office when I was a teenager and learned that I hated it." -Stephanie Carolla
A huge part of your life will include your career. Do you have any idea what you'd like to do when you are out of school? You're not alone. I'd bet that 90% of the teenagers in America have no clue! You have to start getting a clue, now! You're not expected to know what will be your career for the rest of your life. But you do need to begin researching certain careers. Why? Your life will revolve around your career. You'll most likely work five days and 40 hours per week, 235 days and 2,040 hours a year, and about 7,000 days and 80,000 hours in your life. I bet you never thought of it like that.
How many times have you ever heard somebody say, "I hate my job." You do not want to be in a situation where you hate going to work every day. You may be asking about how you choose a career? You begin by identifying what makes you happy. Identify the career that makes you happy, so you will get a clear idea of what you may want to do after school.
Ask yourself the following two questions. They'll help you to decide which career will make you happy:
1) Which career excites and energizes me?
2) Which career will make me feel most fulfilled?
Once you start to identify the career that makes you happy, make a commitment to yourself to go after your ambition. Don't listen to those who try to dissuade you. Lots of people dream of working a particular job or in an industry. Very few accomplish their dreams because they listen when others tell them that it's not possible.
You've got the ability to pursue and land any career you want. Don't listen to those who try to discourage you. These are most likely the precise people who have never, and will never, have the career they really want. Just because they haven't done it, they think that you can't. They're wrong!
You need to start laying the foundation now. "So, how do I lay the foundation?" you ask. It is effortless. You need to begin interning in the Real World. Work with your parents or teachers to arrange for you to go into various businesses to work for a day, week, month or even the entire summer. You will get an inside look at what it is like to work in that career. You cannot get this experience in a classroom or from a textbook. You will see what you like and dislike.
Tuleen Middleton is age 16 and resides in Los Angeles. Recently, I received a phone call from Tuleen. She wanted to check out my office for the day to see what it's like be a Stockbroker. I was very impressed that she had taken the initiative to ask if she can intern for the day. Obviously, I agreed.
Tuleen learned about various investments, how the industry operates and how an investment firm operates their office. One thing that fascinated me about Tuleen is that she carried a notebook the whole day. As we discussed particular areas of the industry, she would take notes. Additionally, she asked a lot of thoughtful questions.
Tuleen's internship provided her with valuable Real World information that just can't be learned in school. Internships is going to bring you experience, improve your communication skills, and build your contacts. Make sure to put your contacts in your address book, and keep in touch forever!
My very first internship was the result of somebody I knew from an early age. My first internship brought about my second internship which resulted in my first job offer out of college. Take the initiative to intern. It's a small price to pay now, for a big payoff later when you enter into the Real World. You just never know where it might lead!
