What can you do when you feel like you are trapped in a job that leaves you feeling unfulfilled, or you find yourself in a role for which you are over-qualified and that does not allow you to use the full extent of your talents and skills?

Edinburgh Napier University Social Informatics PhD student Marina Milosheva addresses these questions in a new article for The Conversation entitled Why it’s so difficult to figure out what to do with your life – and three steps to take. The article is a contribution to The Conversation‘s Quarter Life series on issues that affect those in their twenties and thirties.

Here Marina draws on research completed for her ESRC/Skills Development Scotland (SDS)-funded doctoral research, which covers the theme of career decision making, to suggest the following three actions to help realise long-term career plans:

  1. set a career goal;
  2. make a plan;
  3. find decent and meaningful work.
