YOUR NEXT STEPS
Most people never discover that there's a very clear path to their dream job. It's actually a very practical process-seven sequential stages-for discovering and doing the work you were meant to do.
The Clear Path to Meaningful Work
Stage 2: Get Qualified
Now that you have clarity on your purpose—that’s Stage 1, Get Clear—it’s time to get qualified for your work. That’s Stage 2. Start by asking yourself these four questions: What do I need to learn? What do I need to do? What will it cost? and How long will it take? While a degree is sometimes necessary, more and more employers no longer require a bachelor’s degree. If higher education is not the only way or the best way, don’t do it! As a starting point, check out the Ramsey Career Hub for alternative opportunities to get qualified.
