Attract the Right Job Or Clientele: 

Is A Practical Career Choice Really The Best Option?

Note: Our Collaborative Blog asks the question, Is a “Practical” Career Choice Really the Best Option in Life?’ and offers insights to consider before making a final decision.

If you want to earn money doing something you love, common wisdom will dictate that this is not within reach. But this modern world certainly has put pressure on us and younger generations. For anybody bored of their current career choice, should they opt for something more practical because it can ensure they look after their kids, or is it possible to follow their dreams and earn a healthy living at the same time?

Underlying the difficulty with a practical career choice is that it typically leaves most people unmotivated to put an all-out effort into their careers. Consequently, the lack of motivation leads to a lackluster job. There is little satisfaction in overcoming challenging hurdles to get to the next level. At the end of this type of career, many regret that they did not attempt to achieve more.

So what can we do about improving a practical career choice? Read on to consider the suggestions below seriously.

A Practical Career Choice Or Do You Have Something Else In Mind?

The Better Questions To Ask Yourself And Design Your Career

So many people ask themselves, “what is the wise or practical choice?” But you will serve yourself better if you were to ask yourself different questions such as: 

  • What are my talents?
  • What do I enjoy doing, and can I apply it to a work environment? 
  • What type of lifestyle would I like to have? 
  • Which careers will support the lifestyle I desire? 
  • How can I benefit others without compromising my own happiness?
  • How can I create value for myself to enjoy a fulfilling career?

The fact is that we can all feel that it is necessary to go for a practical option. For the people who believe that trying to follow their dreams is not possible, consider answering the questions we pose. The following three different questions can help you pinpoint what you would benefit from. 

When it comes to the type of lifestyle you want, you may benefit from a practical career in some ways. For example, driving a truck can be an enriching career. We witness many drivers going to a truck driving school and being rewarded handsomely. But you may not necessarily think about the talents you can bring to this type of career. However, if you were a truck driver, you could bring value to others simply by delivering vital services about which people care.

Is It Time To Put Your Needs First?

In short, yes, it is. We all think we want to be doing “the right thing,” but this is a learned behavior. We hear about the difficulties our parents or loved ones faced early in life because of finances. However, the fact is that if you don’t like your job, you don’t need to be unhappy with it. 

The better route is to ask yourself if you want to do the job and if fulfillment might be yours. Because if you start to create a career that suits what you believe in, it can provide a variety to life that you hadn’t thought about before. The benefit may include enjoying life outside of work more than ever.

So many people think that they have to “do the right thing” but then suffer from much anxiety. Should you find yourself stressed trying to keep a practical or sensible career down, you are not giving your best to employers either. So maybe it’s time to clarify what you want, will enjoy, and look forward to each day rather than what you think people want from you.

Upon fully considering your career today and tomorrow, you will likely find greater fulfillment. Give serious thought to ridding yourself of wise and practical decisions and instead, include your needs and desires. Typically, when you focus on your needs first in a career sense, the fact is that it will be more likely to lead you to a more prosperous life.
