Answer 1

It took quite a few years to learn what I was good at, and then what career to pursue in light of those strengths.

EVERYONE has strengths and has that potential to become "something."

To know what your are good at, first: Get a pad of paper, sit down in a place where you won't be easily interrupted, and ask yourself that question, "What am I good at?" Write down anything you think of.  Keep at this until you get an honest list of several items you believe are accurate.

Second, go to this website and take the very accurate and free test, as described next: http://kts2.personalityzone.com/user/reg...

     Once you've taken the test and have your 4-letter personality/temperament designator, go here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myers-brigg...  and scroll down to the paragraph titled: "Type dynamics and development" and look to the right at the rectangle titled "The Sixteen Types" and find your four-letter type and click on it, and read about yourself!  If you answered the questions on the test honestly and accurately, you'll be amazed at how well you're described!  TAKE NOTES on your pad!

Get there by planning, setting goals, developing steps big and small, and then work on them one at a time.

When I was a teen, my then-pastor's wife told me I have talent for writing.  I went to college and majored in music, because I had played piano and sang for years.  But after 2 years, I wasn't ready to choose a career, so I went into the U. S. Army and then to Viet Nam.  While in the Army I took the Famous Writers' correspondence course, almost finishing it before I got out of the Army.  An instructor advised me to return to college, and I did and majored in English with a writing emphasis.  My ability to write helped me get a good job with the local country probation department.  I wound up completing a career there, almost 29 years, and I am not very happily retired!  Regrets?  Yes, I would have been a better college professor, but I was tired of college (finals,  term papers, etc.) and wanted out of college, and professorship would have required advanced degrees.

Hope this helps you.

You need to do some serious thinking about what kind of person you are, what you like to do (work with people.  Or not?), what your are good at, and what you really want.

One lesson I learned is, be careful choosing a career (as a wife!), because you can wind up spending a lot of your life doing it!

That's the thing that ****** up our generation. This whole everybody's special thing. They told us all we were going to be millionaires and movie stars and rock stars, and then we don't.

It depends what you want. All you have to do is be happy with who you are and what you do.Perspective, man.

BTW yes everyone does have potential, and you'll know what you are good at when you find it, but you can also say ***** that and do what you LOVE to do instead.

Answer 3

What are YOU good at ?  What do YOU like?

You do have gifts and talents you may not even know something you could be passionate about...Learn about that thing. Learn all you can about that thing.  Make a decision about something you really like and go after it..

YOU can figure out what it is you are interested in.
