As I was reading the news one morning, I came across an article where the author recounted their first work experience and how it shaped their thinking about work going forward in their career. As part of a school program, they spent a week at a small law firm. The experience was, in their words, some of the most boring days they had ever endured. Filing papers, staring at the clock, pretending to read legal journals - it felt meaningless. Yet, it was also transformative. They left that week with a newfound clarity: they did not want to become a lawyer. That experience shaped their career direction in ways they didn’t expect.
