Identify Your Passion

This is something you should be honest with yourself about. Consider what you're passionate about. What do you enjoy doing, what always catches your imagination and makes you think? What you want to do, not what you think your parents, instructors, society, or your four elder brothers want you to do. When I graduated in 1977, all I wanted to do was host a television show. Everyone thinks I'm insane. According to my parents' friends, I need to be my own boss, therefore I should go law school until I figure out what I actually want to do. Others proposed, using the Wall Street job search as an example. My girlfriends have all shown an interest in moving to the big city, sharing an apartment, and "popping up." Some argue that you should quit denying it, stop going against family traditions, and become involved in politics. All of that advice is great, but it isn't my goal. I want to do something that makes a difference in people's lives that isn't related to law, business, politics, or community service. I'd want to present historical stories via the medium of the time - television. Present to the world concepts that are brought to life via the use of words and images.
