- Emma Rosen made the bold decision to give up her job and take a radical sabbatical in pursuit of her perfect career. She spent a year trying 25 careers before turning 25 through short term work experience, shadowing and just giving things a go. She completed the challenge, and finished all 25 placements before her 25th birthday in August 2017.

summary for myself:
questions to ask yourself:
1.What skills do you want to be using? What skills are you good at? Find the crossover (Example: teamwork, leadership, analyzing data, problem solving, writing, etc)
2. What do you want to get out of the work? (Making a difference, variety, autonomy, etc)
3. Working environment? (City office, practical, outdoors, using your body, entrepreneur, big international company?)
-try making a list of careers you've always wanted and try them out one by one
-career is like dating, very few of us end up marrying the first person that you kiss or the first person you ever dated. it should be based on knowledge and experience instead of assumptions and hearsay, expectations.
-Try the job when it’s the WORST time (e.g. farming, in January, or accounting at the end of year, etc)
How to answer ?
I cried watching this. I am in this situation .. I figured out my dream job doesn‘t make me happy and doesn’t fulfill me and now I feel so lost and depressed and I clearly have no Idea where I‘m going.
Well, if it's your dream job reflect on why it doesn't make you happy. I mean maybe it's not the career itself but another external factor...
aw no🙁, it’s ok you got this girlie!! it’s never too late for anything!! enjoy this journey so you smile when you reflect back onto your decision! hope you’re at a better place now 9 months later!
Sorry to hear that. I've struggled with .mental illness my entire life and it obscures who I am and what I want. Unfortunately your situational depression can get in the way and you might want to talk to a solid therapist who also does career advising
i'm sorry you're going through this. Hopefully things are better for you now- wishing for the best ^^
I feel you , one point I had multiple
Passions now I’m lost of what passion I have
Im 32 from. Srilanka
I have already quited 18 jobs
And this is the time for me To go to the whole world after I find my passion.
Wish every one who lost in their lifes to have their Passion or dream job.
Bless u all
Become an expert in a skill/skills, rather than an expert in an industry. I love this!!
Summary :
1.Try different jobs in different industries because some jobs require the same transferable skills
2. Think about work Environment you want to work in
3. Happy with the job is important

@@lucylumi actually, society tells us that's wrong, because it suposselly means you don't know what to do. I think it's great to do many things as she says

I'm 39 still trying to find my passion in life.
Have you found it yet? Wish you the best of luck
You are not alone in that category!
Never too late, pray you find it and go for it! :DK
Pamela D. I’m 42 and am clueless.
Im 38, likewise😭
This was the talk I never knew I needed, constantly my mom would be on my case about getting a masters having a specific profession but I never felt like that was who I was, she wanted me to aim high or reach my potential, while I wanted different experiences in everything and we still bump head because of it, she calls it lazy, while I didn't have a name for it and now I do, its called being a wide achiever. Thank you so much
You may want to check the mbti test(free on internet). wide achiever, that reminds me entp type. Advise for entp type : free environment, best your ability, integrate with world
That sounds like you followed your heart. Great job!I believe that in order to reach your highest potential you don't need a degree you need to take action and be consistent.
So many people settle for jobs due to pressure from family and friends...
At the age of 41 I decided to put the breaks on my 20-year, nice paying career and become a Life Coach and Financial Coach...Self Employed...happier than ever!! How is your wide achieving going? What all have you found to do?
H F what’s yours? I’m an INFP uwu
Same situasion, and according mbti I am enfp. Idk why, but now I am attracted to film industry( but I want to study music, while now I studying design, ahg..) I am so confused! Feel very stucked and lost. Plus I love biology, psichology so these is my passions too.. agh... and if I was not failed on math exam it would could be my potential careers. I know it's very hard to find one perfect place in world where you can fit, but I understand you. The pressure from society and parents also horrible big. You know, when you have wide interests and your parents like" you can never find your passion, just stick to one! I worring about you, what wrong with what are you studying now? "
But when you think about passions.. It's ok to have wide interests and achieve all them perfectly. Just maybe it's not for all, but for some type of people it's good thing. :)
P.s I editing again and again, cuz it's really sensetive topic ,lol.
She looks nervous and brave at the same time 💪🏼😦
I feel like shes gonna cry every time she talks
Based Li Afraid that's just the inflection of my voice 😂. Comes across that way despite being pretty happy on that stage. A problem lots of higher pitched women have - I'm working on it! Hopefully it doesn't detract too much from the content!
@@emmarosen9894 You were great! I learned a lot
I’m thinking it mild stage fright in the beginning...lots of thoughts going through the brain speaking in public including what your trying to say! You go girl!
@@emmarosen9894
you have expanded my horizon with your speech, thank you very much❤️
Great message! Well spoken! You get it!
This TED talk has literally changed my life. THANK YOU SO MUCH, Emma! You have no idea what this has done for me.
You should consider that most people settle for jobs they don't like because of financial reasons. I wish you could have addressed that. Great talk though.
Its true that is a issue, but that won't stop me from learning a new skill, a day has 24 hours. So 8 hours for working, 8 hours for sleeping, 1 hour for resting, 30 min for grocery, 30 min cooking, 15 min eating, 15 min shower/toilet, 30 min family time. In total that's 19 hours, so 24 hour day - 19 hours = roughly 5 hours free time to do whatever you want. Of course it differs per person, but 5 hours per day is a lot of free time to learn a new skill. Instead of wasting on watching a long tv show serie etc. Its nothing wrong with that, i am just saying time is valuable.
For that, read Rich Dad Poor Dad.
That’s what I did
So true.
We live in an age where you can learn practically any skill you could ever desire simply by picking up your phone and typing in questions on a search engine. I know not everyone is given the same opportunities growing up. I know there are those who struggle more than others, but at the end of the day, any blockers in your way are just excuses. It might take longer, or more work for one person to get to where another got to with much less, but that's just how the cards are dealt... Nobody but some divine deity can change the randomness we're born into, but we all have a say in our own lives once we're living it.
This was so inspiring. Hearing that you don’t just have to do one job for you life from someone with actual experience was so comforting and nice to hear. Made me feel valid in a way I’m not sure I have before.
This talk was INCREDIBLE! I hope Emma Rosen comes here periodically to read these comments. I have been trying to work out what direction to take, what to study but I have been stuck with so many possible ideas... I feel like crying after hearing this. Thank you for sharing your story, you're truly helping so many people. Bravo!
Insightful talk. Thank you! It would be also extremely helpful if you could tell us how you handled pressure by parents, family members, friends, society in general, self-criticism due to the thoughts and principles regarding work that we were raised at, and the financial burdens while exploring and figuring out the type of a career that you'd like to follow.
Brilliant! She figured out her own type of Ikigai, all by herself! Genius!
thank you so much! I've been stressing about this ever since I turned 18, I've always thought that I need to know what I'm going to do (long term wise) right there and then, but I realized now that it takes time, and getting out of your comfort zone to really fine out what you truly love. Making my list now, again, thank you.
I’ve had 5 jobs in the 7 years since graduation. Each of these jobs has allowed me to discover what I’m capable of and what I like doing best. I realised I liked working with numbers, so I’m doing a few accountancy courses with the view to being an accountant.
Turning 42 next week and still struggle to find my passion and purpose. Came very close to dying in a major motorcycle accident last year and it has triggered depression which only makes not finding my purpose even more daunting. I feel both grateful to be alive and guilty for not doing something I love and was meant to do ....I would like to be a motivational mentor, coach or whatever the term is but my mental road block is strong and I often feel defeated. I wish everyone the very best in their journey and pray that I am on the path I was meant to be on
I'm wishing you the very best in your recovery.
As a thought that might help........A commonality I've found in my own journey, and those that I listen to that seem to have a lot to offer......is that they've ALL had obstacles to overcome and have been through periods of suffering.
Let this recovery time strengthen your mindset. Pay attention to what it's teaching you.
It'll become a part of your toolbox later on.
Reach out to a good career coach or organization. With the current job market now is a great time to explore.
@@ryanhill7318 Thank you for the encouragement and thoughtful words. I'm open minded more now than ever and really trying to stay in a relaxed and grateful mindset. I truly have a huge desire to help others some how and hope that it comes to fruition in some form. I struggle with getting off the first base, but I remain hopeful and keep the positive mindset as much as possible
My passion is having babies, cooking, staying home, do some groceries, grow my garden.
that easy , you just need to find a good man to marry him , he will take care you .
@@vovanminh999 unfortunately a lot of men are brain washed too. I have a freelance job and I have many interesting hobbies but men will still ask you to risk your life on the highway every day for an unnecessary paycheck. Hate it.
@@helenarichard , what i don't really understand what do you mean but there are still many good men out there , to be honest to find a good man today is more easier than to find a good woman , most of the girls today they are lies , cheat , dishonest and don't know what is call faithful in the relationship , even they find a really good man but they are still cheat on him .
This is wonderful.
I'm a bridge in the generations between the 45 year veteran and the gig worker
This talk was very refreshing after years of judgement from my parents!
"We marry our first career". A concept I had not been privy to until now. It makes sense to me. Eyes are a little more open now.
🦋that’s why it’s so important to find what makes you happy. Life is to short not to be happy waking up
This was great talk, for not only made me think about what I should do next, but I think it will help my 21 year old with her indecision and her belief that she should know by now what she should want to do after Uni, and that's it's really ok not to have all the answers right now in terms of where to or what next, This talk was quite inspirational for me and I'm 50 plus, thank you very much for sharing your thoughts and ideas just wish I had heard when I was sooo much younger😊
I want to say from the first that this person deserves my absolute admiration because she has achieved in half of the years I have had to employ for acquiring a traversal bunch of skills and abilities that she applies on daily basis. I identify in both of us some kind of incipient polymathy in some topics, in my case due mainly to my long work lifespan, forty years at all, involved as a partner in different kind of societies and as a freelancer. Best regards from the land of everlasting spring.
My passion is workout and fitness. I stand here today going back to college because I’ve come to the conclusion my passion is best left as something I do for fun not for the exploitation of business people looking to profit off my passion . I want a career where I am values I fortunately fitness is easy to get into and there is no real educational process to regulate it and elevate it to something more serious than a recreational outlet
Thank you for sharing this. Your ted talk inspired me. This is what I needed to hear today. I am grateful that I found your video today. Thank you so much. Keep it up.
Bhoomi Arora thank you, I'm really glad to hear you found it helpful. Good luck!
I’m 23 about to be 24 next month. This sounds fun but hard since I didn’t attend college. I feel like that gave this lady an advantage as well. Higher education is definitely a good thing to have when you want to explore all those different careers
i entirely disagree. on the list of 25 jobs she had, archaeology was really the only one you need a degree for and maybe publishing. all the others require training that you would receive when you start that career like the law enforcement jobs she had on there, or it would be portfolio, experience, and skill based like travel writing, creative marketing, and photography. and you’re not starting a full blown career in any of those things you’re just trying them out and seeing what it could be like. if you need to go back to school when you decide what you like then you can do that.
most of it don't, i think. alpaca farmer? photography? movie extra? blogger? travel writing?
Think out of the box. If you don't have Higher education- Go for the Gold- DO all the Incredible jobs YOU WANT YO DO. .. then see where the roads leads you to..
I LOVE THIS WAY OF THINKING. !!
If i knew what I wanted to do, I wouldnt be here watching this video. I dont know what I want to do and Im mediocre at everything!
We're in the same team then
But keep looking for, don't stop, I still have the hope that one day I'll find out what I love
Same
Yep same here, but my hope is one day I'll be doing what I love, cuz it's inside of me, maybe I'll have a dream and wake up and no exactly what I should be doing.
I've been desperately trying to figure out what I wanted to do with my life, and I finally figured it out! Thank you so much.
I'm nearing 40 and still have no idea what I want to do. Thank you for this! Gave me some insight!
Enjoyed your insights, thank you.
late fifties, starting over yet again.
cheers to you
ps your voice is perfect because it shares your message clearly.
Eye opening ❤️ Thank you so much
👏🏽👏🏽❤️👏🏽 wow thank God I found this video, definitely will follow the rule in writing down all the jobs I ever want to do in the list of things I’m actually scale that. I never I thought about it that way, very well spoken
Excellent presentation! Very insightful & refreshing!
Thankyou soo much ... This is what I needed to hear today. I am grateful that I found your video
Great idea.
Great talk.
...Consider me inspired!
I am a teenager and I've never been more inspired by a youtube video, thank you
So good you are already watching these videos! Good luck with finding out and trying things you're passionate about. You will get there!
Some great insight.. I’ve never thought of before. Thank you
This was a fantastic video and think it’s going to help me a lot with my life! Thanks Emma
I am a graduate in IT and NEVER have had a job in the field. I have worked retail and sales for 10 years. I am a trained Pro Wrestler and I am going to start really trying my hand in UA-cam videos and Twitch streaming. WISH ME LUCK! :D
I’m 27 & her speech spoke to me because I literally have recking my brain trying to figure out what I need to study for in college.
great talk
it really gave me a new and different perspective
Thank you, very inspiring! This is it :Wide achiever! It's me too
"Finding your career should be more like dating… few people die with the first person they kissed. Instead, we test different partners. Test multiple jobs across a vast spectrum, then decide from *personal experiences* "
And then people foolishly marry and have kids.. then decide to test different partners lmao
Remember more than one is important too
Fantastic talk for young people to hear! At the age of 41 I decided to put the breaks on my 20-year, nice paying career and become a Life Coach and Financial Coach...Self Employed...happier than ever!! Great video!!
It is always a challenge to know yourself. The way you propose to show and develop our skills is as simple as enriching. Leaving one job to do another can be the true way to develop multiple skills and gain more and more confidence in yourself and believe in your own power. I really liked your talk. Regards!!
Wow. So young. And such a clue. Good for you and those who “raised” you. 😊
Omg this video is so amazing thank you
I liked it! And i’ve seen more than one ted talks about careers.👍🏻
Wow, so inspiring! However, many times we struggle with financial issues and so we don't have the chance to have a go in the field that we'd really like to focus our careers or even what we actually makes us happy. Nevertheless, I found it really helpful and encouraging at the same time... Thanks for sharing!🤗
Greatest advice I have ever gotten
Firstly . i congratulate U on giving this Ted talk . its nerve racking to present to an audience . This is inspiration to me . Learn by doing .
I was a quiet individual. Not good with talking people , i was in my 20s . i was shy. I pushed myself and step out my comfort zone. Now as i am older . i still get tongue tied. 🤣🤣
My passion is helping others , learning , being autonomous, compassionate, full of love and slow to anger . humbleness and humility. Empower young people to be great leaders.
Thanks a lot from my heart!
Having the same problem, just "wasted" a lot more time ... going through different jobs always thinking this is it ... that's the one. But after a couple of months or years it has always turned out it is not. And I went to pursue another one and another and yet another ... now at age 40 I finally realised there is no THE JOB for me ... I have to switch between them or forever change them ... the only question that remains is how to be really good at something and charge for it since on the all fronts you have competition of highly skilled people with years and years of experience which can be achieved only if you really dive deep in to one field and specialise in it ... I could never be good at it as others that do it daily, every single day, all day ... for years and years.
Thanks for the experiential insight. I agree that being focused on a skill that makes you stand out is vital in order to make the biggest difference while also increasing the risk of getting a job. If you focus on jobs that have similar skill-requirements, you could still improve in a similar sets of skills while doing different jobs. And I do believe we are all different. Some are better at focusing on one thing, others are multi-talented. We need both.
i think something is wrong in your aporoach..
I think I am in this situation. I entered the aircraft maintenance industry 3 years ago when I was 24. I thought I was passionate about aircraft. However, as all you know that the aviation industry has suffered a huge economic loss this year. I loss my income as well. I realise that I am not truly happy now, but it is quite hard to choose whether to stay in Hong Kong or emigrate to Manchester.
This was a great talk. Thank you 👏👏🙏
Vicky! I'm surprised to see you here! :)
I'm surprised too!!
Excellent Video clip! Apologies for chiming in, I would love your thoughts. Have you tried - Chiveard Discovering Potential Framework (erm, check it on google should be there)? It is a good one of a kind guide for finding your true calling and achieving success minus the headache. Ive heard some awesome things about it and my friend Sam finally got great results with it.
wow you're on here!
Miss Vicky
I'm 29 still struggling to find my passion. I like 4 fields but struggling to choose one 😢
1. Counseling
2. Fashion design
3. Do my own business related to Tourism (villa)
4. Do a apperal brand
Accepting then growing your profession to create pride for results. Rinse and repeat
This is fire training! 🔥
This is so inspiring.
Inspirational. Wow, I AM a wide achiever, not high achiever. Who knew there was a word for it. Thank you.
What a great speech! ❤
Insightful presentation!👍
Much needed!
Fantastic talk. The question of identity can be very difficult to answer though
I like the concept she gave to treat looking for a career like dating ♡
It get me so emotional....we are in a same boats
I’ve had those kind of nights before work and most Sunday nights too! 😂
Thank you soo much Emma this was the idea what i was always looking for tysm,🔥🙏😎👍😘😘
Thank you emma rosen.
It Was Really inspirational♥️♥️♥️
That's great on paper. I'd love a world like that. My career is already too diverse for recruitment. They don't care that I'm adaptable, they just want me to have that one specific experience so that they don't have to train me. Always the same. They say they're looking for personality and enthusiasm but at the end, that specific experience always wins over the great personality and adaptability /interesting /diverse resume. Also, some people spend a year just looking for a job. Plus, most jobs need several years of studies or training and you're not paid for that.
So good. Almost too good. Thank you Emma for sharing that with the world.
This help me A LOT! Thank you Emma :)
Anyone else here in 2023? I'm here, several years after the original post date, thinking that this is still good advice. There's so much more I could say but the bottom line is: thanks.
Amazing talk
What a speach .. i liked it
I am just watching this and i am at the start of new career
Well done lady! You are great.
When was in the secundary grade I thought I would be an industrial food enginer; and also I played trumpet in the marching band, so I thoguht I would be, maybe, a musician too. When I was at high school I got struggle trying to do every like I had at that time, music, and many different sport disciplenes. In my Bachelors studies I choosed Horticulture and after that I tried to make a MS in Agronomic Parasitology... currently I work as a warehouse man in an automotive company...
INFORMATIVE / IGNITING / INSPIRING.....
In an ideal world I can't agree more. Unfortunately, many of us do not have the ability to date careers, especially the ones from a socio-economic disadvantaged background. And many of us also don't get the opportunities necessary to find their passions. But it was a great presentation. Thank you.
I couldn't agree more that there are huge inequalities in access to careers advice and opportunity - I firmly believe it needs to be open to all, no matter of your background, and am now working on building an app to do exactly this.
Great advice indeed. Practice and experience is the true knowledge but it may come at the highest possible price.
A VERY IMPORTANT moment not to miss when you want to try 10 different jobs:
1. you may try to work for several weeks or months (as long as needed) before you know it's not yours and quit
or wait and see the company fire you before you even made up your mind if this job is yours or not.
2. Employers may see it as a disadvantage in your CV seeing that you've jumped from one job to another and stayed with each company just a short period of time and are likely
to get reluctant to employ you assuming you will leave their job just like you left the previous ones or you may not be good enough and they will fire you.
GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE SEARCHING FOR THEIR DREAM JOB
1. what skills you want to use, and what are you good at?
2. what do you want to get out of the workplace (making a difference, variety, autonomy)
3. working environment
I wish I would have asked myself these questions when I was fresh out of high school. I received free college and didn’t do much exploring beforehand. I ended up changing my major multiple times and came out with a communications degree that I have no idea what to do with. Currently moving up in retail and have opportunity to become an assistant manager, but that’s not what I really want. Even after working there for 10 years. I’m passing it up just so that I can really find something that I enjoy. But I do have to say, this is one of the most difficult decisions of my life. Especially since I have a wife and daughter. I love the analogy of careers being like relationships. I really don’t think that this career is the one that makes me happy.
It really does come down to what you like and what energizes you. But in order to do that you need to try different things. You have to put yourself out there and get your feet wet. That is the only way you will know what you like and don’t like. Even if you have no idea, just moving towards this idea can be a great feeling because you are finally moving in a direction that is beneficial for you. It’s not easy but the easiest things are never the most rewarding.
this was what I was looking for 🤙🏼
TEDx Talks: this video is VERY INTERESTING & IMPORTANT for me!
Great talk
Key solution for many of us: portfolio career
I'm sitting here in absolute tears
why, what happened?
Great to hear that, I been going through the same situation that I studied Computer Science hoping it is a great career choice for me but it turned out to be the worst because I don't like to code but love to create things as well as don't like to just sit in one place like to explore but when I asked suggestion from my friends and family they said to stick to what you studied but I don't like coding and I hate to research and currently doing job-related to coding due to which I am always in depression.
I feel as if nothing (I have good coding skills but I don't like coding) is there in what I am good at what I like to do. I am lost what to do where to go.
24 here and did the same thing. Degree in computer science, but now im not a fan of coding and im lost to what i do. We'll figure it out eventually though!
Same here
I needed this.... I'm not lazy or indecisive, but I just have a lot of interests. Maybe a portfolio career was not an option lie Yeah 1 career.
Great talk!
when nobody laughed when you said “maybe don’t apply that to the dating analogy” girl I felt for you. Tough crowd!
Same here, I'm working in a multinational company. I'm already 44 and soon retirement will come. I don't know anything except for my office work and I worry I will start again from zero after. I don't know where I'm going. I still have no idea what i want to do in my life. I'm useless that I don't know my passion.
Love your accent ♥️
This video deserves more views than this...
I was so inspired I almost clapped at the end...I am in a very quite coffee shop haha
There’s some good stuff in this talk, but it makes me realize more than ever that TED is mostly about high-privilege people targeting a high-privilege audience.
Much of my time is now spent trying to make this as accessible to everyone as I possibly can. I strongly believe that career happiness should be for everyone, not just the privileged few.
@@emmarosen9894 Lol, Emma, I think you probably gave that person a mini heart attack:)) Him I bet never expected you to reply to his comment directly hahaha:). Great talk!
I agree - I'm not for making excuses but it takes a certain financial stability to be able to go on a sabbatical for one year and just do whatever you want to do. Of course happiness is what everyone should strife for but if you've got mortgages, children or never had any real access to good education, it'll be hard to follow this advise. Which isn't to say it's bad advise, it's actually really good, just not available to everyone.
It targets the people who are in positions to bring change I think.
Cool girl! So inspiring speech!
Hay Emma thanks so much
