Identify an industry that fits your strength
This is a tough one. On one side, I believe that we should pursue a career we are passionate about. But on the other side, I think we should NOT do something we’re bad at.
So what should you do if you love something but suck at it? My opinion is to not pursue a career in that field. Treat it like a hobby instead. A lot of people love to make music, but they are not good enough to earn a living. But does that mean you should stop making music? Hell no! Go and jam with your friends — in your spare time.
- The bottom line is this: Only pursue a career that fits your strengths.
I know this is somewhat of a limited view. Some people even call it pessimistic. But I see it as realism.
