    I’ve finally found a job that I like and the answer is with a lot of courage and a bit of privilege. First and foremost is the privilege part. If you have the privilege of being able to be unemployed for a few months and not die then you can do this, if you’re on the edge of poverty then you can’t afford to. Just another way privilege is a positive feedback cycle. Anyway, with the warning out first, then find the courage to change jobs every few years until you find a place where you say to yourself, “Yeah I can stay here for a long while.”

    It’s a lot easier to do when you’re young, but if you have the privilege of being able to go through the unemployment of being between jobs then all you need to do is have the courage to leave your job and look for a better one.

    “Discover What You Are Best At” by Linda Gail.

    Self tests you can do in one day, and a list of jobs that use those skills.

    Nurses and hair stylists both need good people skills and good dexterity; totally different jobs with a similar skill set. The book pointed me at a job I’d never considered.
