Snoop on other peoples careers to gain self-knowledge

Snoop on other peoples careers to gain self-knowledge We are bad at predicting what will make us happy, so the best way to pick a career is to study people to see if you like what their life is like. If you do, then try their career. This is not very efficient, though. I mean, you cant study that many people. So New York Magazines Watching the Clock is a gift for all you career searchers. You can read a minute-by-minute account of each persons day. Of course, its an account of their best day. No one reports anything like 1:36 pm put head on desk and worried about failure. But still, you can learn a lot from reading about how someone really spends their day. Also, you can learn about yourself by watching how you read the pages you will read carefully what seems like the most fun to you. When I read, for example, I went first to the publicist, and relished every minute of his day. I even took pleasure the relentless pitching he did, within this piece, for his client, Bombay Sapphire. I skimmed the location scouts day, and the contractors day. I read five scattered words about the chefs day and they were all about food (who eats porchetta anyway?) and I couldnt bring myself to read anymore. So no cooking school for me. Ever. What if you like reading all of the profiles equally? Maybe you should be a librarian.
