The philosopher Confucius once said,
0:04
"Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life."

Indeed, if you're in search of a happy and rewarding job,
0:11
there must be a connection between your own passion and goals
0:15
and the career you want to have.
0:18
Our mission at Treehouse is to provide better ways to learn technology.

0:26
building apps, or building a business,

You'll hear from industry experts and Treehouse's own team,
0:46
all of whom have spent years developing their talents and careers

1:20
just by being here you're already off to a great start.
1:24
But before we learn about the opportunities available in the tech industry,
1:28
it's important to learn more about yourself.
1:32
Through self-assessment and consideration of your own personal goals and needs,
1:36
you can gain a better understanding of where your career might take you.
