prefer more dancing or singing?
HERE ARE REASONS TO PICK A JOB
THAT MATCHES YOUR INTERESTS:
You will be happier doing a job you like ( matches your
interest than one you dislike.)
Not everything you enjoy doing will provide you with a
good income. It is important to balance what you enjoy,
what you are good at ( your skills ), and what jobs are
available.
You may not enjoy every part of your job, but you
should enjoy the most of it.
