Online Colleges, Universities & Community Colleges in the USA How to Know What You Are Good At:what are you good at know-what-you-are-good-aBecoming a highly successful individual is what every person wants.

You might wonder what made them so good in their respective fields. The first and the easiest technique that would help you realize what you are good at is where you are able to do something with great ease. Another way of finding out what you are good at is by figuring out whether you really enjoy or love doing that task. So it’s time that you realize what you are good at.

U-CAN:University and College Accountability Network The Minimalist's Guide to Career Happiness Think about the worst job you’ve ever had. I’m talking about brain dead, boring, tedious, work. You’ve had at least one of those, yes? Sometimes we accept a job like that, knowing that it doesn’t suit us perfectly. But other times, the job looked great on the surface. Why is that? The Complications of Choosing a Career Maybe your well-intending parents pushed you to become a lawyer because they wanted a secure, profitable career for you. Perhaps your siblings went into medicine, and your competitive nature led you there, too. Or maybe a high tech environment was considered the cool, hip place to be, so you studied software development. In each of these cases, the careers were selected for external reasons. Sure, a nice salary is great. No, your past choices weren’t terrible. So now you’re ready to consider a different approach. What Do You Need? There are things you need to be happy in your career. Did you think to factor those in when you selected your current job? Discovering Yourself

Their mission is to "bring quality test prep to kids who can't afford shelling out hundreds / thousands of dollars for the (often mediocre) instruction that the Kaplans and Princeton Reviews of the world provide". It's easy to use and offers tips for taking the tests as well as practice questions and videos. There are multiple tutorials and questions and students earn badges as they work through the site. Beyond test prep, this also helps students develop thinking skills that can help them anywhere.

What Can You Do with a Music Degree? What Can You Do with a Music Degree? There are far more options for what you can do with a music degree than you probably realize. Performing and teaching are the two most common careers in music, but those don’t begin to cover what music majors can pursue once they graduate. Here’s a list of some of the careers for those with a music degree. We’ve linked several to articles on MajoringInMusic.com, to give you a better sense of what people are really up to in these fields. Note that some of these careers require graduate education (eg., teaching on the college level) or additional training beyond what you’ll find in an undergraduate program. • Accompanist (public and private schools, music schools and performing arts camps; religious centers and schools; dance rehearsals and performances; other venues) • Acoustics • Adjudicator • Arranger • Artist management • Arts administrator/arts management (includes box office, concert series, programming house manager) • Audio production, editing

Bad career advice: Do what you love One of the worst pieces of career advice that I bet each of you has not only gotten but given is to “do what you love.” Forget that. It’s absurd. I have been writing since before I even knew how to write – when I was a preschooler I dictated my writing to my dad. And you might not be in preschool, but if you are in touch with who you are, you are doing what you love, no matter what, because you love it. So it’s preposterous that we need to get paid to do what we love because we do that stuff anyway. I am a writer, but I love sex more than I love writing. So how could you possibly pick one thing you love to do? The world reveals to you all that you love by what you spend time on. Often, the thing we should do for our career is something we would only do if we were getting a reward. The pressure we feel to find a perfect career is insane. Here’s some practical advice: Do not what you love; do what you are. Relationships make your life great, not jobs. A job can save your life, though.

Does it seem like an insurmountable task? It's not. Assess Yourself Tony Anderson/Taxi/Getty Images Before you can make a career choice you have to learn about yourself.

Cheryl Richardson: Find Your Passion If I had to choose one topic that prompts the most emails, raised hands, and letters in my work as a life coach, it's "How do I find my passion?" Maybe you've wondered this, too. It's a feeling we know well from childhood, when we wanted nothing more than to practice pirouettes, make sand castles, or paint all afternoon.

Stop Two: Be an ExplorerHidden throughout your daily life lie the clues to those ideas, activities, and dreams that matter most to your soul.
