To find something you like is to try..Sometimes you don't get into a career you like right away, it takes time and effort to find what you love..Just give it some time and effort..

Finding a career you enjoy takes time, and it may feel like it takes more time if you are currently working in a job that you do not like. If you are stuck and cannot find a career that you do not enjoy, I recommend taking some time to do some self-discovery. Sometimes we stumble on things that are unexpected that we will fall in love with. If you are going to spend your life devoted to a career, why not enjoy it? There are tons of free courses online that could give you a feel for what types of things are involved in field. If there is a career that you think you may be interested in, it does not hurt to contact someone in the field and ask questions. Often times people who work in a field are more than willing to answer questions about their work. Perhaps one of the most important things to remember is to not rush it. There is always time to reconsider your work options and career, and many people change careers later in life. If you are in school, talk to your guidance counsellor. If you are currently working, consider talking to a career counsellor.
