NOTE

Exercise: Developing Your Short List of High Impact Careers

Create a short list of high impact careers by considering various approaches. Firstly, analyze the approaches discussed in the chapter and identify specific paths that align with your criteria. Secondly, evaluate the pressing problems you listed earlier and consider career paths that could address those needs. Thirdly, review career reviews for additional ideas. Fourthly, think about unique opportunities or paths where you excel, including those unrelated to your past experience. Lastly, envision your ideal working day and consider career paths that align with that vision. The goal is to broaden your options before narrowing down in chapter eight. It's important to consider a variety of career paths beyond your past experience, as entering a new field can be beneficial in the long run, even if it requires a transition period.
