Some food for thought. One of the judging panelists during the last screening for UNILAB Sales Management Trainees gave us candidates good advice. He said:

“Find something you love doing. Be the best at it. Then the money will follow”

It’s saying that in choosing a career, the beginning of your equation must start with what you love and what you can do and not how much you can earn.

Don’t be blinded by the money or fame. What you love doing and what best you can do may be hard to find and they may not always be the same thing. And when you do find it, it may also seem not a good career path at first. But if you build on it, there’s a lot more chance of being successful this way over choosing a career based on money but not actually liking the work.
