Episode Description
With so many possible careers available to us today, how do we ever choose which one to pursue? Whether we are transitioning from one field to another or just starting out, how do we notice when one opportunity somehow stands out among the others? Once we do make a decision as to a direction, we have to prepare for the field and get that first job. Then there’s the social aspect of the work – what will my friends and family think of my path? Will they approve of my decision and support me? Can I really make a living doing what I love? And what dreams do I have for my future – what do I hope to accomplish? In this episode, we will explore all these questions and more from the vantage point of a 24-year old just starting his career in the wine industry.
