"Hi! How's it going...?"
"I've just left uni and now I'm lost.
Life is so confusing.
We don't know whether to get a job, continue studying, go travelling.
It was so much easier in our parents day.
They got their qualifications, got a job, got married, got a house, got a career.
Now there's just too much choice, it's terrible".
That was it! - all I'd asked was Hi...!!"
If your immediate reaction is "That's me!" - read on and be encouraged!
This section is dedicated to all those readers who are struggling with doing - or being about to do - something they either hate or know deep inside is wrong for them. This is often because someone else expects it of them.
It's all about a conflict of values i.e. what really matters to you, deep down, and what this next job is about.
This inner struggle is often about:
"I must do this because... but I don't want to!"
"I should do this because... but I don't want to!"
"I want to do this BUT... "
Sometimes you just need to get on it, earn money and get some relevant experience (people skills, selling skills, business skills etc). This is perfectly fine, if it fits into your longer-term aim or sense of purpose or mission.
It's not easy - but there is hope - almost everyone goes through this!
So, why not relax and give yourself a break?
Take 20 minutes out and watch Steve Jobs, the founder of Apple: a rare speech to graduating students with almost 40 million views on YouTube.
It is the most watched graduation speech of all time – and not without good reason.
You will definitely be encouraged.
(includes an 8-minute introduction then 14 minutes of Steve jobs)
