I want to have a job that’s challenging and stimulating. Something will that make me look forward to waking up in the morning. I probably can’t get my dream job right away so I have to be open to other jobs. Career paths aren’t always straightforward for everyone especially if you want something unusual.
It’s also good to recognize if the opportunities that comes my way are rare and I should be more inclined to do something that most people don’t get to do. Spending money is fun and I’ll need to pay my bills so money is always something to consider. But I also want to be fulfilled and have a good mental health. So I guess I would have to balance rarity of the job, joy from the job and the pay. Definitely if you love your job, you would try to overcome any challenge that comes up.
Leaving a legacy would be nice and make my life feel meaningful.
