Comment on What are ways to independently make a few bucks on the side?

Get this book. "Discover What You Are Best At" by Linda Gail. It's a series of self tests that gauge what skills you already have, and then lists the jobs that use those skills. For example, a hair dresser and a nurse both need good social skills and good dexterity; two totally different jobs with a similar skillset.

I spent my whole life thinking I'd never find a job I actually liked, then I got the book and it led me to a career I enjoyed and got a decent salary.

  It doesn't matter, because what I enjoyed might sound terrible to you.
  
  Like I said, two different jobs will have a similar skill set, and the book gives you a long list of all types of jobs. It even breaks them down by how much education you need.

    Thanks though seriously for the book suggestion. I’m going to read it as I am at a position in life I need to make a serious change.
