Teklemuz Ayenew’s Answer

If you excel in Biology, think about exciting careers in healthcare like medicine, nursing, pharmacy, or public health. If you're great at Social Sciences, consider fields like psychology, counseling, or social work. If you have a knack for Economics, Accounting, or Entrepreneurship, along with Mathematics, you might explore roles in HR, marketing, or management. Trying out different experiences through shadowing, volunteering or internships can help you discover what you truly enjoy. By focusing on your strengths and what you love doing over time, you'll find the right path more easily.

Melissa’s Answer

Helping people can lead to careers in areas like management, human resources, or nursing. It's important to consider the environments you enjoy and your other interests. When you mention acceptance, I think of resilience—the ability to work in tough situations, which is a valuable trait. Is that what you mean by acceptance?

I also like helping others through leadership, which I discovered in my software sales career. I find it rewarding to guide my team and help them grow. I didn't start in sales; I studied Marketing and Business in college, which opened doors to various careers. Each job taught me what I enjoy and excel at, as well as what I don't.

Besides considering what you enjoy, think about what success means to you. Is it mainly about helping others, or is financial gain important too?

Leah’s Answer

Hi Kate,
Those are wonderful qualities to have and to bring to your work life! I can think of quite a few career paths one might pursue when those two qualities are prominent. I wonder if you might be interested in learning more about any of these: Therapy or Psychology, Medical care ( for people or animals), Coaching, Human Resources, Leadership, Education/teaching... While each of these career paths requires different training and schooling, they all benefit from having an individual who embodies genuine care and interest in others' well-being. You're starting strong, knowing who you are and what qualities you will bring to your work, regardless of what career path you choose:)

Leah recommends the following next steps:

Reflective exercises to hone in on where your interest is: journaling, continuing to reach out to ask questions
Think about if you are willing to be in school for an extended amount of time if a career requires more years to get a degree, or if you prefer a different route that does not require more years of schooling
If there are certain career paths you decide you might like to investigate, look at schools that offer those degrees and see what the classes/program for that degree are to see if it peaks your interest to help you decide

Chiming in from a corporate environment. Most big companies have roles focused on supporting diversity and inclusion, improving the wellbeing of employees, and generally making sure people have a good experience at work. These are great roles for anyone who wants to work with people, making them feel accepted and comfortable every day!
Example role titles for these are: Diversity, Equity & Inclusion; DEI; Culture; Employee Engagement; Employee Experience; Wellbeing.
