This question is about short and long term goals.

How do I decide my career goals?

By Zippia Team - Mar. 27, 2023

Decide your career goals by determining your values, your needs, and your wants. All three will help you build a path rooted in your life.

Your values are what define your personal and professional philosophies. Knowing these values will act like guiding lights that point you in a general direction of fulfillment. Your needs help you be more specific and relevant with your career goals.

Needs can range from material needs, such as having a home and stable income, to more introspective needs, such as feeling like you can support your family. Finally, wants are anything that you find interesting or desire, even if they are not necessary in your life.
