Ever felt this way? You have straight A’s, but when someone asks, “What are you going to do after graduation?” you go silent for a few seconds… You’re not alone! It’s time for SPU students to find their own path using “Ikigai,” a Japanese philosophy that helps you find happiness and meaning in what you do.

Ikigai is the “reason for being,” which is the perfect intersection of four key elements. Discovering your Ikigai doesn’t just help you know what career to pursue, but it also makes waking up for classes every day more meaningful.

  • What you are GOOD AT: Skills and special talents that you perform better than others.
  • What the WORLD NEEDS: Things that can create benefits and solve problems for society.
  • What you can be PAID FOR: Things the labor market is willing to pay for in exchange for your skills.
