3 Simple Questions You Must Ask to Find Your Dream Career

There's an old saying that you need to "Love what you do, and do what you love."

Nowhere is that more true than in a career.

Finding your dream career can be realized through asking your self these three questions.

Question 1:

* What makes you tick and what are you passionate about? You won't find your ideal job as a sports analyst if you're not a sports fan. By the same token, a movie fan would be right at home as a film reviewer.

Few things in life are more important than finding a career that best suits an individual's interests. It may be entertainment or sports. Others may have a passion for making a difference in the world and may find work in the church, politics, or a non-profit.

Question 2:

* Are you choosing the right job in a certain profession? Someone may want to work in journalism but that doesn't mean they are suited to be a reporter versus an editor, or vice-versa. The individual who is hyperactive and cannot stay in an office all day should be working as a reporter, which allows them to get out and meet new people. Likewise, someone who doesn't enjoy running out several times each day and would rather edit the copy of others would be happier as an editor.

Both the writer and editor are working in journalism and both jobs are equally important. The difference is that they have chosen different jobs in journalism that best suit their personalities.

The analogy isn't limited to journalism either. A career in education can involve working as either a teacher or principal. Being promoted to principal will bring a higher salary and more recognition, but for someone who loves being in the classroom it would not be a good move. The list is endless regardless of the career. If you want to find the line of work that is ideally suited for you, first identify the profession you would like to work in and then start comparing the different jobs in that field.

Question 3:

* Will the job pay what you want versus what you need? Salary is important in any career. But also important is doing what you love. A career in engineering will pay more than one in most retail jobs. But someone who enjoys retail work and doesn't have the financial obligations that would require them to focus on a higher paying job should choose a career where they will be happy

Someone who wants to find a dream career also needs to ask if they will be able to pursue it in a location where they will be happy. Some careers are in more demand based on different parts of the United States. Someone who wants to purse a career in a location where they will be happy should go for it. But someone who may be employed in a location where they would be miserable would be wise to look for something else.

If you want to find the job of your dreams, you would also be smart to study all you can about that field -- what is the satisfaction level among individuals working in the profession, what opportunities are there for advancement, is travel involved (another consideration if you don't like to travel), are the hours nine-to-five or will you have to work the graveyard shift, etc. Finding the answers can be accomplished by researching the employment field and seeking information from individuals working in the profession in which you are interested.

Want to know how to find the career of your dreams? The answer is easy -- start by asking yourself why you want a career in a certain profession, ask if you are right for a career in the profession, and solicit the advice of those who are working in the field.
