While I am passionate about education and I am passionate about the paralegal field, I struggle with figuring out my strongest passion as it relates to my career. So many questions run through my mind -- How do I want to spend my days? Do I want to continue working for a large corporation, dealing with office politics? Do I want to change jobs and work for a law firm? Or do I want to start my own freelance business? Am I strong enough and confident enough (and smart enough) to pull it off?
On the radio talk show, "Girlfriend We Gotta Talk!" (Sunday, March 20, 2011), Kerry Hannon (journalist, author, speaker) discussed the importance of finding one's passion. Her topic was "What's Next For My Career?" One of the things Kerry mentioned was determining what you are good at and what you enjoy doing. Knowing these things will help you find your passion. But most importantly, you must have confidence in and believe in yourself.
