你小時候是否最怕被問「長大要做什麼？」
來看組織心理學家怎麼說！

Stop Asking Kids What They Want to Be When They Grow Up
🤔When I was a kid, I dreaded the question. I never had a good answer. Adults always seemed terribly disappointed that I wasn’t dreaming of becoming something grandor heroic, like a filmmaker or an astronaut.
在我的孩提時代，我害怕這個問題。我從未給出一個好的回答。大人們似乎總是非常失望，因為我並沒有夢想成為什麼大人物或是英雄，比如電影人或是太空人。
❌In college, I finally realized that I didn’t want to be one thing. I wanted to do many things. So I found a workaround: I became an organizational psychologist. My job is to fix other people’s jobs. I get to experience them vicariously— I’ve gotten to explore how filmmakers blaze new trails and how astronauts build trust. And I’ve become convinced that asking youngsters what they want to be does them a disservice.
在大學裡，我終於意識到我不想做某一件事。我想做很多事情。所以我找到了一個變通方法：我成為了一名組織心理學家。我的工作是去改善別人的工作。我得以間接體驗到它們——我已得以探索電影人如何探索新路、太空人如何建立信任。並且我已經確信，問孩子們他們想做什麼是對他們的一種傷害。
🔭Although having a calling can be a source of joy, research shows that searching for one leaves students feeling lost and confused. And even if you’re lucky enough to stumble onto a calling, it might not be a viable career. My colleagues and I have found that callings often go unanswered: Many career passions don’t pay the bills, and many of us just don’t have the talent.
儘管擁有天職會是一種歡樂之源，但研究顯示，尋找天職會讓學生們感到迷茫和困惑。而且即便你足夠幸運碰上了一樣天職，它也可能不是個可行的職業。我和同事已經發現，天職的召喚常常得不到回應：很多職業夢想無法支付帳單，並且我們中的很多人就是沒有那個天賦。
該怎麼幫孩子找到志向？
