"Settle for whatever you get now and then grow later.", "Always ask for more!", "No, I don’t advise you to enter that field." It gets confusing, doesn't it? In reality, the advice you really need should come from thought leaders - people with a proven track record - or from data-backed research papers. Here, we've gathered 5 inspiring TED talks that will help you in your journey to find a job you love, and give you the courage to make the changes necessary to get there.

Economist Andrew McAfee suggests that, yes, probably, droids will take our jobs — or at least the kinds of jobs we know now.
