Interesting piece in today’s NYT about the concept of passion and finding the right career fit by Angela Duckworth, the person who wrote that book about grit that we were discussing on this thread awhile ago.
She says some of what I was trying to express earlier, especially aimed at those young people who’ve made it through college without defining a singular career passion. I agree they should not panic. Sure, they have to find a job and pay the bills, but as she writes, “interests are developed, not discovered” and tells young graduates to “Consider your first job as an opportunity to begin an unpredictable, inefficient, trial-and-error process.”
