There are many resources nowadays to help us decide our interests, skills, and our work values. I took all three of the assessments on Kuder and they all say something different, but accounting appears on two of the three scores. I have always loved math so I know I’d like being an accountant. Business finance also is on two of the three score reports.
I don’t want to just do one thing I love I want to do two things I love. When I sat down and really thought about it childcare and business is what I wanted to do, but how do those things go together? Well my career goal is to own my own daycare so that way I can take my love for children and my love for business and combine them.
On Kuder, one of my work values was the work place and if I own my own daycare I will be able to control the environment. I won’t have my boss breathing down my back because I will be my own boss. I will be able to make the workplace comfortable and attractive for me and my employees. On another assessment, the skills one, human resource management was listed as something I’m skilled at. I should be able to find good employees that will help me achieve my goal of owning a successful childcare facility.
