In a workshop I was conducting for unemployed people, a man in his early seventies expressed his great stress about not knowing what he wanted to do with his life. In this same workshop, a woman in her early twenties expressed a similar concern. Choosing a career can be a difficult decision, but it is an important decision. Satisfying employment can bring emotional and financial rewards. A great job can help you to feel better about yourself. In another workshop I was presenting to unemployed people, one woman, through her tears, stated that in the past she had lost a close friend as well as suffering through a divorce, but being unemployed was far worse than the other problems she suffered. Career Aptitude Tests are one of the most searched terms on Google. As a career counselor, I have found that a Career Aptitude Test is one of the first things my clients often ask about.

Choosing a career where you can fulfill your interests and abilities can help you to be happier. It has been said "Love what you do, and the money will follow."
