A job that is exciting to you. A job where you can't wait to get to work when you wake up! 

Do you realize that perhaps as many as 80 percent of the people in the workforce today don't enjoy what they are doing? What a terrible way to go through life! 

Starting salary, bonuses, benefits and geography are certainly important. But those things will take care of themselves. If your work is fun, you will be good at it, and the tangible rewards will follow. 

How do you go about identifying a fun job? You start with things that you like doing. 

Think back over your classes. Which have you enjoyed the most and done your best work? Look at some of the jobs you have held, your involvement in extracurricular activities. What parts of those areas were most enjoyable? 

Develop a matrix. Down the side of a piece of paper list the characteristics and attributes that describe you, e.g., work well with people, good time-management, creative. Across the top of the sheet list the work in which you have been involved, extracurricular activities, etc. Go across the page and put a check-mark in each column where you used that particular skill. Put two if you used it a lot. 

Now assess the page. Look across the page at the characteristics that best describe you, and note what you were engaged in when you used those traits. Look down the column of the job or activity that you most enjoyed, and identify those traits that you were using in that role. You should start to see some correlation here. 

Vigorously seek and pursue what for you will be a "fun" job. The rewards are immeasurable.
