Mod 3 Week 1 prompts

Refine your career vision: What are the values that will drive your job search? What are your goals for your job search? What kind of role do you see yourself pursuing in your job search? Based on your latest version of your career vision, list the top 3-5 industries and companies you’ll pursue in your job search as of right now. Why did you pick these industries/companies? How do they relate to the values and goals you have for yourself in your job search?

In terms of values, I don't want to be in an industry I have no care for whatsoever or does not resonate with me as a person. Being a developer for a home inspection company or a gym for example gives me no joy. At their core, I would like to think that my values are humanistic in that I want to help people in meaningful ways. Since a lot of my personal experiences are from living abroad, some type of job dealing with education and exposure to different ideas and culture would be interesting. As far as potential industries, I think the following are decent starts

1. Education
2. Traveling
3. Gaming

The first two are directly related to my own experiences traveling. The third is because I find a lot of enjoyment in gaming and have always wanted to step into the industry in some capacity. Furthermore, my values also rely on a balance between, what's fun, and what's educational, and how can we combine those?
