Finding My Passion
I was just thinking to myself about how my interests have changed an incredible amount over the past few years. It all started when I got the Internet and started designing web pages after my sophomore year of high school. I thought I would be doing that for the rest of my life. However, about a year later my interests moved on to the business world where I realized that I personally could make more of a difference and more money by managing other web designers.
At NYU, my career interests have spanned the following:
- Professional Entrepreneur
- Life Coach
- College Professor
- Author
- Consultant
- Speaker
- Government Office
- Company President
These are only types of careers. At different times, I have been interested in topics such as:
- youth empowerment
- entrepreneurship
- marketing
- management
- psychology
- health
- spirituality
- etc.
With that said, college majors are outdated, in my opinion. The world is changing so quickly now, it seems very restrictive to pick a topic that we will supposedly focus on the rest of our life. I think one of the best ways to be "successful" in life is to be passionate about what you're doing. I think that this is best done by pursuing career types and topics that you are passionate about through out your life.
I've found college to be an incredible buffer period where I have the freedom and flexibility to pursue my passions and set my life up in a way so that when I graduate college, I can continue following my passion instead of a pay check.
