Many young professionals are unhappy with their careers simply because they did not take the time and put in the effort necessary to find the right career opportunities.  Chances are their unhappiness was caused for one of two reasons:

1.  They were too lazy to search for the right opportunities, do internships in their fields, network with successful individuals in their industries and all of the other steps necessary to find the right careers
2.  They chose career opportunities for the wrong reason, such as it paying slightly more than something they would have enjoyed much more

So how does a young professional know what the right opportunity looks like?  The right opportunity must fit the following criteria:

2.  You will work exceptionally hard and strive to become great at it
3.  You have a desire to learn as much as you can about it because you love it and want to get better
