Finding the right career path can be very important when it comes to being happy in life. In American culture, jobs are often central to who we are. Think back to the last time you met a new person. Likely one of the first questions exchanged was, "what do you do?' or "where do you work?" Many people spend more time with their co-workers than with their families, and as such work can define who we are. Remember when you were in school and how many times you answered the question, "what do you want to be when you grow up?" There is pressure to find a job that you are qualified for, that suits your personality, that pays well and has good benefits, and very often, that also makes you happy. There are so many careers and paths that is it overwhelming to pick one, particularly with so many things to consider.

Understanding your weaknesses is also another important part of the process. Not everyone is a good fit for every career, which is not a bad thing; we all have different strengths, abilities, and challenges. It is important to be honest about your weakness so you do not start working toward something that does not suit you. Sometimes this can be frustrating if you have gone to the trouble of getting a degree in a career that you are just not enjoying.
