A Guide to Making a Living Doing Something You Love

People shouldn’t have to choose between doing something that allows them to make a living and doing something they can feel excited about, that engages their interests. Of course, every line of work is going to have its ups and downs, but if you feel like you’ve been having nothing but downs lately, and as though your career is cutting you off from chasing your dreams, maybe it’s time for a change.

Today, The Marketing Recruiter offers some ideas for individuals who are feeling burnt out or unfulfilled at work, or simply looking for an exciting career option that aligns with their passions.

Have a clear sense of what you want out of your work.

If you’re going to make a career change or invest in training for a new line of work, you need to be fully committed to it. You can’t just be attracted to the work because you feel like it might be easy, glamorous, or lucrative. You can’t be thinking like an escapist or basing your ideas on fictionalized versions of careers that you’ve seen in the movies or television. Rather, you should have concrete knowledge about what is entailed in the career you have in mind. And you need to be realistic about your own gifts, aptitudes, skills, and interests.

Find out what you’ll need to do to get into this new field or industry.

You may already have the qualifications you need to make a change. Or you may need a little extra training, or simply to brush up on things you learned about years ago. On the other hand, some career leaps may require quite a bit of new education or preparation. If you need to take a lot of classes, or even go back to school for a new degree, make sure this is something that is practicable and affordable. You may be able to do online classes that won’t interfere with your existing work schedule or family obligations.

Don’t forget to look into licensing.
