When you sorted through the Challenge Cards, you discovered some of the tremendous opportunities that the world has to offer. The choices you made revealed important information about you. They showed your interests, values, and the unique contribution you can make to the world. It’s interesting to discover your challenge profile, but what is even more important is how you use it to guide your career exploration!
“What do you want to be when you grow up?”
Have you ever been asked this question? How does it make you feel? Frustrated, confused, and maybe a bit scared? If so, don’t worry. It’s perfectly normal not to know. And even if you knew what job title you wanted, your preference might change when you enter the workforce. Nobody has one job title for their entire career. That’s why “What do you want to be?” isn’t a helpful question. This is where your challenge profile can help you flip the way you think about your career because it enables you to ask yourself different questions, such as:
- What challenges do I want to work on?
- Who is working on these challenges now?
- What do I need to learn to be able to do that?
- You have already discovered the challenges that inspire you.
