Qualification? Passion.
It is really annoying when I am asked what my dream job is. Honestly, I do not have a dream job, which makes me worry about my future. That annoyance what I feel when I am asked that kind of question maybe come from my anxiety which remind me that I have no dream unlike other people. I, however, actually have something I want to do, and I imagine myself working in the field I hope, but whenever I do, I soon become aware of it would be practically impossible to realize my dream. If I had a sincere passion for it, I would gladly step forward no matter how it seems to be difficult to realize. This is what I am disappointed of at me for. I may have quite many abilities, but definitely have no passion. Although I do not have a dream job, I know I am not qualified for every job.
I once dreamed of being a musical actor. I enjoyed singing when I was a child, and I found out my musical talent around then. I also have watched quite many musicals hoping I would perform in a great stage with great work someday. I have never learned how to sing, but I thought myself to sing watching videos and practicing by myself. After a few years effort on it, I have reached to a good level of singing. One of my friends who used to be a musical actor would say to me that we wanted me to be a musical actor because he really loved my voice and singing, and his teacher from his career as a musical actor also wanted to train me. I do not want to boast of myself, but I was quite qualified for being a musical actor in terms of singing.
I carefully considered their suggestion to train me because just like now, I had no dream job at that time, too. I also thought that it would be great because I once dreamed of being a musical actor. There, however, were some problems that caught up with me. Firstly, musical is not completed only with singing. Musical actors should understand and interpret their work they are playing, should act apart from singing, and should dance. I do not know much about play. Dancing is definitely not mine. Next reason is the situation of Korean musical field. Everybody knows musical actors cannot make enough money to support their family, except some extraordinarily famous actors.
All these reasons that made me turn down their suggestion, are actually an excuse. I could have learned about musical theory, how to dance, and how to act, if I really had wanted. I would not have cared about how much I would earn, if I had had a strong passing for it. I was scared of being a failure, and I was worried about earning just small money not enough to support my family. Above all, I was not sure if I would be really happy when I become a musical actor. All these concerns could have overcome if I were passionate.
Not everyone can be passionate about what they want to do, and what they want to work in, but everyone may have something they have a sincere passion for. Many people still have not found what they really can give their best to like me. I have tried to find what I really can be passionate with, but I cannot be as passionate as others, even when I was doing what I loved. This is the reason why I am not qualified for any jobs. I have no passion. I, however, strongly believe in myself, so once I find out where I can put on my all the effort regardless how much it is challenging, I will be qualified for every job.
