Do you love where you work?

This is an excellent question for your son to be asking.

I do like my job because of two things:

1. I am continuing to learn - which shows you are never to old to learn new things, even after being in industry for 30+ years. If I’m not learning, I’m bored.

2. I work with really nice people. People who stick around where I work tend to be the type who value collaboration, teamwork, having a common mission, etc.

Your son will have to figure out what he values, and then try to ascertain in interviews whether his ‘wants’ can be satisfied. It’s not always easy to tell. But, asking people he interviews what they like or don’t like about where they work can give him some insight.

Good luck to him!
