[quote=Anonymous]I think that OP believes that things will come to her, rather than needing to be sought out. A "passion" won't suddenly come to you (it doesn't come to most of us), a raise or promotion won't just come your way, a new job won't just fall into your lap. These things take effort and work. You feel like you don't know what to do with your life--this is common for many humanities majors--and therefore, you don't know what your next step should be because no one is telling you what to do. The truth of the matter is that most of us have careers that we are sometimes satisfied with, and sometimes not. It's not rainbows and butterflies every time I step into my office. I have better days and worse days. Better YEARS and worse years. But, by sticking to it, I just got better and better and now I have a career that is enviable. This is 90% of life. So, my advice to you is to choose something that you like (not necessarily LOVE), whether it is a career path or an organization or a place, and commit to it for a few years.[/quote]
