Short excerpt from a YouTube video (Career Advice - Sam Altman) in which Sam Altman advises people to seek careers at the intersection of: what they are good at, what they enjoy, and where they can create value for the world. He notes many people drift into work without much thought, but recommends upfront reflection while acknowledging trial-and-error can help.
I think you want to look for the intersection of what you're good at, what you enjoy, and where you can create value for the world. In my experience, if you don't find something at the intersection of those three, it's hard to really have an impact. Most people just fall into what they work on. They don't give it much thought. And there is benefit to that. Sometimes you actually have to just try stuff to figure out what you like. But I really do think it is worth upfront thought about what you're going to spend most of your waking time doing. So it's really good when people think about what they're good at, what they like, and how they can create value for the world.
