Answer 3

you need to REALLY want it. I mean, with all your heart and mind KNOW that this is the right thing for you. You have to be at least average in your profession, and it is best to have a passion for it.

Also, Your personality and character will greatly influence which professions you should be interested in. For example, my sister loves debating, just for the sake of it! she probably wouldn't be the best candidate for a politician or a diplomat. Nothing against her, but its just different jobs for different people. Another example: one of my friends is super ADHD and has trouble focusing, sitting still, and taking direction graciously and giving advice/his opinion gently. He would be a horrible teacher and an even worse manager/supervisor.

So, ask yourself these questions: "What do I enjoy?" and "what am I good at?" and "what are my talents and abilities?" and "what are my preferences?"

things like that.
