Wanted to follow up by saying, this is good advice for pretty much every degree field. If you don't find accounting, management, medicine, law, etc at least interesting and somewhat fulfilling, you are not going to put in the thought that it takes to be truly good at it. Even if you do get a job, it's not a job you're likely to be happy in or excel at, and you don't want to go get a degree to work in a field you're going to dread working in every day.
If the idea of going to the office or whatever to go do the work you're learning to do doesn't delight you, you're in the wrong field.
I know plenty of people who got degrees in fields like accounting who ended up working low skill jobs anyway because they just didn't have the interest, drive, or talent in those things to capitalize on them.
I got my degrees in computer and managerial science because I absolutely love those fields. I love thinking about them. I love talking about them. I love doing them.
@potmetpetunias Is this it?
Ikigai is a Japanese concept that means your 'reason for being. ' 'Iki' in Japanese means 'life,' and 'gai' describes value or worth.
What are the 4 rules of ikigai?
Explore the convergence of ikigai's four primary elements: what you love (your passion), what the world needs (your mission), what you are good at (your vocation), and what you can get paid for (your profession). Take time to reflect and design your life.
@drcaberry imho only the 1st part, the 2nd part misses the inside-out direction. Your video 'Why' is imho great for stimulating inner motivation to action.
M. Kumano: feeling ikigai usually means the feeling of accomplishment and fulfillment that follows when people pursue their passions. Activities that generate the feeling of ikigai are not forced on an individual; they are perceived as being spontaneous and undertaken willingly, and thus are personal and depend on a person's inner self.
