The thing is that the concept of “vocation” is quite capacious; it can be understood by people in different ways. Thus, when high school students talk about vocation, they often mean their future profession. When we hear from boys or girls that they want to find their calling in life, in most cases this means their desire to decide on the scope of their future activities, on what they want to do in the future. The dominant factors in choosing a profession are, most often, its prestige, level of pay and future prospects. When to go to a psychologist with the question “How to find your calling in life?” When more mature people come, the motivation is personal fulfillment and the social significance of the activity. Therefore, when people come to a consultation asking for recommendations on how to find their calling, it is first necessary to clarify what each of them understands by calling? What does this concept mean to you? Based on the answers received, together with the client, the psychologist finds out why he really came? Wants to determine the area of ​​activity where he would receive the maximum benefit for himself financially and morally? Or, for the person seeking advice, not only personal gain is important, but also the social significance of the work. In a word, do you strive to be useful only for yourself or for the whole society? To put it simply, a vocation is doing something you love, in which what is more important is not material payment, but moral satisfaction. In order to find your calling, how no matter how you consider the initial concept, you need to answer a number of questions: 1) What field of activity attracts you? 2) What abilities would you note in yourself? What are your strengths?3) How important is the financial side of work for you?4) Do you like your job?5) What did you dream of as a child? Now try to analyze your answers. Do you want to choose a profession that will bring you a good income or are you trying to find a job that you will enjoy doing? The next stage of working on the question “How to find your calling in life?” is to determine the area of ​​knowledge where you will truly be successful. Since it is a well-known fact that you can only like what works well. To do this, there are many test methods that will help you find the field of activity in which you understand, i.e. you have a certain set of knowledge and skills necessary for quality work, as well as your preferred types of work. Do you prefer working with people or with technology? Are you more competent in the field of exact sciences or in the field of art, etc.? Professional psychological techniques will help answer many questions. It should be noted that it is not enough to fill out the tests; it is more important to correctly analyze the results. Lists of questions on career guidance, of which there are so many on the Internet, are unlikely to help you decide on the choice of your life path. Obviously, counting your own scores, comparing the results and reading a couple of sentences about yourself is not enough to choose a calling in life. A comprehensive study is required - finding out your desires, interests, capabilities, abilities, etc. Therefore, if you are wondering how to find your calling, it is better to turn to a professional psychologist. The specialists of the Vlad Svetoch Center for Psychology have significant experience in consulting in such matters. It should also be noted that, contrary to popular belief, your vocation may not coincide with your main activity that brings in the means for subsistence. IN/
