The man's name is Charles Garfield. He is a psychologist. There is no surprise that psychologist is not the first career he thought about. His first consideration was related to outer space science.
When he was thirteen years old, the first Sputnik satellite was launched. Therefore, Garfield was encouraged to excel in science and math, a pursuit that eventually led to a job with the moon-landing project. However, when he was working on the project, he found out that he interested in people more than in science, so he decided he wanted to study about human behavior.
The work he is most proud of is the very first volunteer program he initiated as a new faculty member at the Shanti project to work with seriously old people who always talk about the same two things: people they've loved and work they're proud of.
What I have learned from this video is that if you want to know what to do, you have to know who you are. You need to think about what you want to be doing, what would be doing, what would be fun and what would be gratified.
I will utilize this lesson for searching my future job because no one knows me, what I want, what I like to do or to be than I do.
