Try out lots of different options early in your career. Then watch the responses: how you feel, what the market values, what people appreciate about you. It's the only way to find work that's uniquely right for you.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I used to tell my graduate students at Stanford, 'Don't worry about what job you have to pick because your job picks you. Let your job pick you. Find something you are passionate about. Then when you are passionate, be persistent. Just keep doing it for a while because progress is always hard work. It never rests in ideas.'
Ultimately, I want to have a good career and do interesting work.
I want to have the career that is my choice - what interests me, what doesn't. I feel more and more strongly about that.
There's an awful lot of choices in the world as far as what one can do for a living. It's best to be familiar with as many sectors of the working world as you can be so you'll be better at your creative job anyway.
What I want out of my career is just to work.
I'm more interested in my life than I am in my career. I don't want to not work. I do enjoy working, but not to the point where that's the only thing I focus on.
What I try to do is to appreciate every job I have while I'm working on it.
I have a kind of objective luxury about my career.
One of the things that's been nice about my career is that I've been able to do so many different things, and variety keeps your creative soul fulfilled. I'm constantly looking to find new things to do. It's just project to project for me. You never know where the next thing's going to come from.
Find and use your passion, and you'll have a great career. Don't do it, you won't. It's as simple as that.
