My cousin just finished high school and had to find a job in the real world.  He is bright, but from the times that I have talked to him, he really expressed no interest in furthering his education by attending college.

He had no problem getting a job, but it was clear after a couple of months that he wasn’t happy.  He didn’t like working hours set by someone else for such little pay - he had always had an entrepreneurial spirit in him.

I suggested that he follow his passion of motorcycles and do something along those lines.  Though I didn’t know what he should do, I told him that the best idea would be to do a little brainstorming and soul searching to figure out what he wanted to be when he grew up  and take steps to make that happen.

When I spoke with him a month later, he had become a Cycle Trader, helping others find the perfect motorcycle for their budget and he was enjoying providing the service to his clients.  He had finally found his calling.
