HOW DO I CHOOSE A CAREER?
Note:There are times you won’t meet all these. If 1 thing is missing doesn’t mean you are on the wrong path. Sometimes you can have a
job that meets 2 or 3 for example, sometimes a job has nothing to do with your happy place. It’s okay if you don’t know your talent yet

as you can
