What if your job hasn’t been invented yet?

I spent ten years of my career building mobile apps — a job that didn’t even exist before 2007, when the iPhone was introduced. Fun fact: when the iPhone first launched, you couldn’t even install apps. Now it’s hard to imagine life without them.

Take “influencers” or social media managers, for instance. These jobs didn’t exist 20 years ago, they became possible with the rise of platforms like Facebook and Instagram.

My parents tell me international law firms didn’t exist in Turkey when they graduated and entered academia.

So if you’re graduating and none of the jobs out there reasonate with you, don’t lose hope. Maybe the job you’re meant for hasn’t been invented yet…
