Explore Your Interests, Discover Your Passion
Not sure which health career is right for you? Concerned that a career in health care is not even a good fit for your future? That's okay! The first step to finding your professional purpose in life is to explore YOU. Do not approach potential careers solely based on others' expectations or the amount of money you will earn. Take time to explore your interests, strengths, gifts, weaknesses, fears, and personal challenges. There is only one 'YOU' out there, and you are a unique combination of characteristics and experiences. Allow those characteristics and experiences to fuel your role in health care or another field.
At UNT, we offer various services, resources, and advising that can help you explore your interests and ultimately discover your passion.
