It can be overwhelming enough to figure out what to do in a day, but thinking about your life years at a time can feel like too much to handle. So how do you respond when you’re not sure what you want to do long-term, but you feel like you need an intelligent answer? Here are three ideas to get you started.
Do you feel less intimidated by the questions about your life plan after reading these tips? Remember to focus on the key components of your dream job, show how your present work connects to those future key components, and let go of any pressure to have the perfect answer all figured out. As you allow yourself to explore various options, you will be able to see a wide variety of careers and find what sparks your interest. Additionally, consider turning the question around.
