NOW IT'S TIME TO THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU WANT TO DO.

Laurie Edwards, manager of career and transition services for Nova Scotia's Department of Education and Culture, agrees. "You need to look at every employment opportunity that comes along in terms of what it offers besides a paycheque," Edwards says. "When you're looking at that first job, ask, 'What does this job give me?' Many times, it's the low-pay, high learning job that's going to really shape your future."

All work is an opportunity. It's a chance to find out what you're good at. It's an opportunity to discover what's out there. Above all, it's an opportunity to find out what you love, what you're passionate about. More and more, people--especially young people--are willing to move about, to try things out. In the end, you want your work to be your passion.

CALGARY STAMPEDER, ROGER REINSON, TALKS ABOUT WHAT HE DOES.

"You guys are paying me to play football? That's crazy!" This is still Roger Reinson's reaction when he contemplates his good fortune. Six years a linebacker with the Calgary Stampeders, at age 30 Roger feels blessed that he's been able to translate his lifelong passion into a career.

"You have to be happy to go to work in the morning," the well-known long-snapper says, reminding job-seekers thinking about long-term employment: "You want a job to be more than a source of income--it might as well be doing something you enjoy!"

"Sports has created who I am," Roger confides. "The skills learned are so transferable to life. You develop a work ethic and commitment, you see end results and get out of it what you put in." In sports and business, he points out, you're focused on the goals.

He always manages to apply something from football to his other jobs. "I pull something positive out of every single experience. Even the horrendous situations teach you, benefit you. They tell you, 'don't do it!' When you hate a job, let it go, don't get locked in. Fear doesn't help; that's when you have to dig deep and think positive, know it's time to move on."
