How Do I Choose a Career Path?

By Ron Clavier

The equation that physicists use to describe “work” is:
WORK = FORCE (APPLIED AGAINST A MASS)  X  DISTANCE
This ... is where all career counselling should begin.

Define the job that you need to do before being convinced in high school to obtain the tools (i.e., courses) that you must have.

To do this, search yourself and decide what it is that makes you personally sad or angry or confused. The answer to that defines your passion. Turn this into a question about what is wrong in the world. Go to school with the zeal of a searcher, and seek ways to make the world a better place.

Then, you will know what tools (courses, etc.) you will need, and use your FORCE (knowledge, skill, etc.) to move the world to a better place.

You will never question your choice of occupation if you use your energy to displace something that is in the wrong place.

Dr. Ron Clavier, Psychologist
