Most people spend eight to ten hours a day working which works out to roughly more than half your waking day. Since you spend a considerable amount of time at work why not invest it in something you really want to do. You can randomly submit a UPS job application and hope for the best or take a more decided approach. Many people end up in a clear that they didn't initially choose and have basically fallen into. It's no wonder that lots of people hate their jobs and unfortunately are too tired by the end of the day to do anything about it. Instead of doing something for survival why not make a plan, invest in time and get what you really want? It's relatively simple to find work that you really want to do but that doesn't mean it's easy. Through cultural conditioning we are taught that the best professions are things like doctors and lawyers, but that isn't necessarily true. Many people would hate to be doctors or lawyers even if it was handed to them without having to do any of the schooling required.
The first step to landing the job that you've always wanted is to learn more about yourself. People are often too busy to really take stock and to be honest with themselves about themselves. This is one of the biggest pieces of the puzzle and will dramatically reduce mistakes in evaluating or career to choose. A starting point is to ask yourself what types of things do you like to do currently both at work and in your private life. You may like repetitive tasks or have a real flair for problem solving. These are the types of things that have been obscured by professional resume writing services and career counselors through teaching people what they need to say but not really conveying what the meaning of those words really are. There needs to be a distinction between liking the idea of something and the reality of it. Lots of people like the idea of working without supervision but it doesn't mean that they're productive when they're not supervised.
