Good Advice

Once you've started thinking about what you want to do with your life, the next big question is: How do you get there?

This is a question with no right or wrong answers. Think about it this way instead: There are lots of little things you can do to set your course, from choosing the "right" classes in school to spending more time on your favorite hobbies. Filling your life with the things you love to do and focusing on those is a huge step in the right direction.

If you love to be the social organizer in your group, maybe you have a future as an event planner or promoter. Always getting a hard time at home for being on the Internet? You could be a Web designer, producer or developer. Like to work with your hands? You only have to turn on an episode of Extreme Home Makeover to see how much goes into building a house — different people are responsible for drawing up the plans, building the frame, wiring the electricity, installing the plumbing and even putting on the finishing touches as the interior designer.

Basically, if you have an interest — any interest — there's a way to turn that into a career you could love!
