I know it has been quite some time since I have posted. Day to day life, i.e. final exams, graduation ceremonies, internship hunting, has gotten in the way of my personal time to sit down and write! Each of these daily activities is performed for the purpose of obtaining ones dream career. So why is it that the majority of my elders are, "still figuring out what they want to be when they grow up"?
As I sat watching the graduation ceremonies for the Clarion University, Class of 2009, I saw a plethora of students who have yet to find any job, let alone the "perfect job" so many people speak of. What makes an ideal career? Is it to solely find something you love to do, even if you cannot live within the means of your salary? Or is it to take the high paying job that comes complete with a bonus package of "you'll have a heart attack in one year"? Is there really a happy medium to these scenarios? College students need more guidance on how to find a career that will make them happy by providing them with enjoyable work, as well as enjoyable pay.
I am interested to know how others have gone about finding their own "perfect job".

Well some people do just want money, and if that's what they want, then the high paying job, regardless of the stress it causes, may be enough for them.
I'm following the path of doing what you love. I STILL don't know what my "dream job" is. However, I know I'm in the field I want to be in. As I explore all the options it will be my priority to make it my own, incorporate such a position with things that I love.
It's far easier said than done. However, if you get to that point where you really do love what you do, you will be able to do it because your knowledge, enthusiasm and work ethic will be far greater than anyone elses in that area - simply because of your lvoe and desire to do so.
