Career Planning That Keeps You Moving Forward
Personal Interests
More often than not, the answers to the question "What do you want to be when you grow up?" is driven first by an inborn need to satisfy our personal interests.

The cultivation of personal interests begins early in life and can even be found in the dreams and desires that our parents have for us. Then, like clay in a potter’s hands, our interested are shaped by life’s exposures and the environments in which we grow. Once cultivated, these interests make up the very core of our life’s motivations, subliminally affecting the choices we make in life, including our personal relationships, religious beliefs, recreational habits, and even occupational preferences. |
Unfortunately, in this fast paced world in which we all live, all too often people don’t end up in life where they had hoped. Why? Simply put, because their personal interests were not served. A fact that has led to dissatisfaction, resulting in early departures from whatever it is that one has found him- or herself involved in (jobs, marriages, and friendships). Hence, it would appear that one’s personal interests should be clearly understand and taken into account when establishing goals for oneself in life.
In essence, the road to career success can and should begin before graduation.
