Took me 33 years before I found something I love. I worked in various factories working 60 hours a week minimum hating every single second! My wife knew I was getting seriously depressed and she knew I was very good with people and have the gift of gab. She suggested becoming a bus driver. I applied to a non profit community outreach program that hauls disabled people and working people around. I love it! Best job I've ever had! Low pay doesn't even matter when you make a difference in someone else's lives!
I'm the same as this caller. I'm not passionate about anything. I've never had any work that I loved, results that mattered, or a group that I wanted to help.
Most things in life don’t really matter. In the end your job is for supporting yourself and the ones you care about. This is why women shouldn’t be working but that’s a different topic.
Great point! I work with someone who considers herself a people-person, but others find her smothering. She has no friends, only colleagues who put up with her.
If feel like this caller should have been given more time. I am certain that most people (who have been working in the business and commerce marketplace for >15 years plus) might feel burned out or overwhelmed with trying to fix their career life so to speak. It’s harder to fix when you’re older, but it’s even harder when you have life happenstances and responsibilities looming over your head from past choices you inherently made (most of which were either pressured from your parents to get into this field or that, or “well meaning friends” that tell you what THEY think you should be doing. Not every knows what they want career wise and I don’t think people should be demonized for wanting to do nothing. At least for a while until they can rewrite themselves to their passions again. Can’t wait until she calls back, I hope this worksheet gives her the insight she needs. I hate that videos like this are so unpopular as I feel the majority of people ACTUALLY feel this way but are afraid they’ll be looked at as incompetent and just rush to say anything so they don’t look like they don’t know themselves on a live show. 🤷🏻♀️
I am in the same situation as this caller. I have been in a variety of roles and I ended up hating them all. I have no clue what I want to do. I don’t even really want to help people. Just want to be able to work alone.
I wish I could work from home, all alone so I don't have to interact with other people. That's my biggest problem. I can't feel comfortable around others, but if left alone I can actually do a lot even if I don't like or literally hate my job. Issue is that only job I can find in my country are jobs which require interacting with others all the time.
Do you have any craft skills? If not, you can always learn, but I sell products that I build online. Very minimal customer interaction involved. Etsy is a great platform to start with.
I hate working. No job will ever make me happy. There is no joy in slaving away at some BS job or "career". I'd like to live on a farm, or sail the world, or live by the beach and just explore. Not work 40 hours a week, every week for the rest of my life.
I relate to that. My biggest problem is being forced to deal and interact with people I don't like nor feel comfortable around and handle their bossy, nosy and rude attitude all because I don't want to lost my job. I went through lots of crap in the two jobs I did before from both of my bosses and co-workers. I indeed would rather do farming than handle others bullshit for a barely useful amount of money.
@@davek1728 that's not entirely true. What IS true is that you truly keep your labor and aren't trading everything to someone else to take care of everything you need. You work when the work needs to be done, that's it. It's a much more dignified life than cubicle world
@@dungeonmaster6292 my grandfather had a farm and he was non stop working because work needed to be done...all the time.It's like you say "take care of everything you need" well... as a human, you have needs and wants, Hank Moody here wants to spend his time sailing and exploring the beach.... wich is a lifestyle he wants.... so, he should make that happen and figure out what job can give him that lifestyle. You could live on a farm like my grandfather sure... why not? But don't forget it's hard work and you might have a need to relax, travel, family time etc.
I hear ya, I do IT work, am great at the technical side, but have lots of social anxiety when having to present material to upper mgt. As a bsa, that's what I have to do now and I have no interest in this. So...trying to figure out the next 10 years after 25 years of pros and cons in IT.
I would say the same. Because of the pandemic I stay at home and then I just go to work. Some I go on a walk. But people do not understand the distance, so I do not go so often as I use too.
I see where she is coming from. I had no idea that I would like being in the security sector. I got this job after I got made redundant from my longest job and couldn't hold down other jobs because they weren't what I expected them to be. From working at the post, loading trucks, scrap yards. I had no immediate idea that my passion relied on attempting to deescalate situations, but looking back on it, it makes sense that I would like that. I think it's all about writing down your personality traits, and doing trial and error of finding stuff you like. You will fail, but you can move on to the next, especially in this job market. E.g. I thought I'd like the post because I like sorting. But I was wrong. I thought I'd like loading trucks because of the same thing, but I was wrong. I thought I'd like the scrap yard because I have a passion for recycling, but it's a dirty job that would risk my health. I thought I'd enjoy security because of my ability to always remain calm, I was dead right. Trial and error.
Sounds like she is just straight up depressed. Needs to get on a good light workout schedule and make sure she is eating right. Get a good daily routine.
That doesn't really help. If depression could be cured with that then most people wouldn't be depressed nor commit suicide. I know cause I'm depressed myself and have been that way since like 10 years but nothing helps. It just get worse.
That's not so simple for a lot of people. What you love and what your passion is won't always pay the bills or get you to the lifestyle you may want. That's also not taking into consideration the college debt, having to relocate, what the job market is like, and the list goes on and on. Take someone who loves animals for an example. You can go to college for 10 years to be a vet and make a ton of money. But that's a ton of debt, requires most people to quit their jobs while they are studying, and that just isn't practical for most people. Then on the other side of the coin, you can be a dog groomer/walker and make $10 an hour... which is a wage well below the poverty line. So again, it's not just as simple as finding a passion and running with it. That's the unfortunate reason why 90% of people hate their jobs/career.
😕 that’s a rather depressing way to move forward on this abundant planet I feel. True, it’s what most have done, but that is not the way forward for us as a species if we choose to move into love. There are better ways forward. Tough ways. But better ways. ❤️🌈❤️

What's wrong with that?
I recommend volunteering to a few things that are different from each other, a little bit at a time and that helps!

@@BlowitAllUp Damn Dick, you really took the 1800's perspective on this one! "This is why women shouldn't be working"
i have the exact same problem, when he mentioned low self confidence i was like YES, i wish he dug deeper into that!
I know people who have a passion for singing and they are terrible at it. Sometimes, we do have a passion for things we aren’t good at.
Great point! I work with someone who considers herself a people-person, but others find her smothering. She has no friends, only colleagues who put up with her.
@@Nepthu damn Maybe she is depressed u never know she could just need a friend
Yes but at least..we always feel good singing and enjoy it

Mental health care worker. Some form of advisor. Security (night work is often slow and you are more alone)
Nora I can relate. I hate work I just do it for the paycheck.
True. Everyone has something they do well and don’t really realize it ...their flow. It’s hard to figure out.
Thank you Mr Coleman. You run such a great channel. You are a gem at Ramsey solutions 👍

get a farm
On a farm you would work all the time from dusk till dawn....

What I’m good at, I don’t really have a passion for, and what I’m not good at I have a passion for…
I hear ya, I do IT work, am great at the technical side, but have lots of social anxiety when having to present material to upper mgt.
As a bsa, that's what I have to do now and I have no interest in this.

Was there a follow up call? Would love to see how it went. Thanks!
What if I have like 1% passion?
Did Nora ever come on for a follow-up?
I would say the same. Because of the pandemic I stay at home and then I just go to work. Some I go on a walk. But people do not understand the distance, so I do not go so often as I use too.

Trial and error.
Is the career clarity guide the same as the Get clear assessment?
Do people who have passion for their work often suffer from work/life imbalance?
Yes always cos they are enjoying themselves in their passions
What is meant by more “productivity” so we keep up with hyperinflation?
Sounds like she is just straight up depressed. Needs to get on a good light workout schedule and make sure she is eating right. Get a good daily routine.

I love clubbing baby seals to death. Is there a job similar to that?
15 months into a global pandemic working from home. Let's not use the word passion anytime soon please.
I like to watch movies and drink beer 🍺 can I get paid for that? 😂
I am a devops engineer at 100

This call confused me so much...
Almost no one has passion for their work. Just grit your teeth and deal with like the rest of us.
