What's Your Passion?

Great question! I have yet to be able to answer this question. I honestly do not know what I want to do when I grow up and what my passion is. I haven't really found anything that keeps me interesting and what I want to do. What am I good at? Another good question. I don't know and I also don't think that you have to necessarily have to be good at something to make a career out of it if you are hard working, determined and you love it. I have always just seen myself becoming a mother and raising a family, not so much a business woman or career person. However, I do want to be successful at something and be an independent person after college. I want to be able to make my own money and maybe even have my own business. I like to bake and to be creative making things, so I've always kept that idea of opening my own shop. That is why I am currently taking business classes but keeping an open mind for new possibilities. The video seemed to me a little unrealistic because yes it is important for people to do what they love and love what they do but sometimes that is not enough to get by financially. If people want to be financially stable and not have to worry about bills, especially in an economy where the unemployment rate is so high, they may need to take a job they don't care for. I do think everyone would be happier if they loved their work, but I don't think that is always realistic.

  1. I totally agree with what you said about the video being unrealistic. Sometimes people do have to trade happiness for an income. They can find other areas of their lives to make them happy instead.
