Hi Landon,
It's Jim from Australia. There's a unique joy that comes from excelling at your work and earning your boss's approval, but as you age, like I have, you begin to see things differently. You start to understand that what truly matters is lending a helping hand to those in need, particularly those facing hardships.
For instance, you might be a doctor treating health issues, or a salesperson promoting nutritional supplements. I once aspired to be an astronomer, a dream sparked by a telescope my parents gifted me in Christmas 1969. However, that dream was short-lived. When my uncle tragically died of a severe heart attack at just 38, my perspective shifted.
It was disheartening to see that the doctors couldn't save him. Then, one by one, my Greek relatives began to pass away from illnesses like cancer, diabetes, strokes, and heart attacks. This series of unfortunate events led me to become a dietician, a path I chose in hopes of helping others. The message was clear to me, wasn't it?
It's a pleasure to meet you.
Best,
Jim

Hey, Landon! 👋
That's a good question but a tough one to answer because there is no one career milestone or requirement that will make all people feel fulfilled. Just like companies have core values, individuals have these as well and, typically, people will experience fulfillment in their job when their personal values are met.
Some people feel fulfilled when they are earning a large sum of money regardless of the nature and outcome of their job. Others need to feel as though their work is making a difference in the lives of others or their community. Some find fulfillment from their relationships with their coworkers while others prefer to work independently and be successful on their own.
Indeed.com has a great article on the types of career values and how to identify your own that you can check out here! https://www.indeed.com/career-advice/career-development/career-values
Identifying your personal career values early will help steer you in the direction of career paths that align with these values as you enter the workforce and set you up for the best chance of finding fulfillment in your job. 💜

When you're happy and at peace with your work, it means you're satisfied with your job. A good starting point would be to turn something you love or enjoyed doing as a kid into a career.
