Do you believe that your profession is your life calling?

Question

I could not find the job in my field for over a year and half, and I have tried everything, however I worked something different and that job offered me perspective of how is it to work in those fields I got education for. This gave me an opportunity to learn so much about myself and what I like to do in my life. I figured that I am the happiest in fashion industry, when I need to go to work, I am happy, and excited, I used to be a model, and a photographer, my home is fully designed - I am very artistic - yet my majors are : Psychology and Criminology. I am good at that too - however, I realized that working in my 2 fields often puts me in touch with illness, crime, sadness, grief, lots of negative feeling on a daily bases. I have talents and knowledge that companies did not need from me -so in that sense my skills are wasted. However, isn't art and fashion my life calling since all paths led me to this again and again, despite the fact I got education in some other field?

Answer 1

Hey that's up to you to decide. If youe didn't want a job in criminology why major in it? If you like fashion then go for it. BUt whatever you choose scope out the effort that it will take to 'make it' in you chosen field...
