Why you should do what you love to do
(Taken from http://www.prlog.org/10349355-every-college-grad-should-know-before-stepping-in-the-real-world.html)
Let’s look at the typical path of a college graduate who has not found what they love to do.
Graduated from college – can’t find job – get’s low paying “temporary” job just to pay the bills – starts to become complacent and falls into routine – struggles to get out of routine but can’t because of accumulation of debt to finance lifestyle of escaping reality and impressing people with material possessions – effectively becomes a slave to the job as it is needed to pay the bills- looks forward to weekend to complain about job but does nothing and gets wasted to forget troubles- gets depressed – struggles to find meaning in life – maybe gets a small promotion at temporary job by employer as an incentive not to quit – hates waking up in the morning everyday but does it anyway to pay the bills – makes other people’s lives miserable because his is – rinse and repeat for 40 years – lies on deathbed regretting life, wishing he could go back and change it all, and dies knowing that he can’t.
Use that time to find what you love to do. Don’t put it off. Otherwise, you may fall into the trap of getting a job just to get by and falling into a routine.
I’m not saying it’s bad to get a job just to get by, but if that’s all you’re doing, and if you don’t have a goal, plan, or passion, to shoot for, the future looks very bleak for you.
