In today's world its not always easy to get the job of your dreams with the perfect salary and benefits. But what do you do if you have no idea what you want to do? Well for starters, get out a piece a paper and start brainstorming.
Think! What is something YOU enjoy doing? Maybe you enjoy cooking or making model airplanes or playing the piano, whatever it is, just write it down! After writing it all down, pick the one you enjoy the most.
Imagine it. If Walt Disney was able to imagine and create Disneyland, then why not you? Close your eyes and picture it! See if you can imagine yourself doing this on a day to day basis. If you can, then move on to the next step.
How do I get there? Make a plan. Whether you have to go back to school or start an internship, the possibilities are endless. For example, say you want to be a bridal consultant, but money is a little bit too tight to go back to school. Consider an internship at one of the local shops. If they will let you intern there, but they are not able to pay you for it, then at least you have the experience. (And you never know if they really think you are doing a great job, they may just hire you.) Other options include loans, grants, or even online jobs such as blogging--which is a wonderful way to earn some extra money.
Support. Its normal to get discouraged, just make sure you share what you want to do with your friends and family. They can offer you the support you need and encouragement when you feel like giving up.
Don't stop believing. Ok I'm not going to get all Journey on you, however, it's true. Its easy for us to go back to our day to day jobs and just dream. But instead just do it! The last thing you want to do is wake up one morning and realize you could have changed it.
