Oh, the sweetness of exclaiming, "I'm gonna be a ___________ when I grow up!" -- as long as the thought of what goes in that blank doesn't have you drawing a blank! I know how super frustrating/overwhelming/terrifying/upsetting it is when your passionate career is anyone's guess, or when you think that it's just not possible to find a career that you could be passionate at and make money from, because I felt that, too. I remember my Dad's response when he came home from work and we asked how his day was. He always responded, "They call it work because it's not play." I always rejected that notion, even as a teenager who decided to go to college for musical theater (with my parent's full support), and once I decided not to pursue acting as a career any more, the only question left to answer was, "Now what?!" 

Whether you're in a career you thought would be a dream but the reality is more nightmarish, or if you "fell into" a career that makes you look around and remark, "How is this my life?!" (I've been there, done that, too!), here are 5 (Easy!) Ways to propel you back out of that ditch and onto the path to your passionate career.
