Jobs. Careers. Ways to make money. Doesn’t matter what you call it, we all need one to survive and thrive in the world. I am one of those “let’s change careers in mid life” type of people. I followed the correct path of going to college and getting a job in the business world and I was completely miserable. Fourteen years of my life was spent going to work in little tiny cubicles, doing grunt work that I was not paid well for nor appreciated for. So when I was laid off in 2007 I decided that I could no longer ignore my gut instincts. I had to make a change. But what should I do? I finally sat down and really thought about it.
I knew that I liked to bake and do things with my hands and that I wanted what I did to matter, not just be another nameless cog in the business machine wheel. One day I opened up the paper and saw an advertisement for a Massage Therapy School and I knew that this was it. I researched the subject on line to find out what it entails and more importantly what it paid. The results were encouraging to me. I went to school for six months full time, at nights, and now I can happily say that I am employed as a Massage Therapist and I love it. So have heart, you may be like me and need a “few” years to figure out what you want to do for a living but when you finally do it will be all worth it.
Right now I am also researching ways to make some more money, since I only work as a Massage Therapist part time. I am looking into offering a class at our local township s community center on How to massage your infant and also teaching a class on Learning how to massage your partner . Not only is it a good way to make money but it could also drum up more clients for my massage business. Some other ideas I have are working for a business where you can make your own hours, for example working for Avon or Pampered Chef.
I have known people that worked for both these companies and while you can t get rich you can certainly make some money. They are both online and you can easily find information on them, plus they have been around for a while so you don t have to worry about working for a scam company.
It is a tight job market out there and it seems like everyone is looking for a job. But remember you are a unique individual with special talents, if you are willing to take a chance and make a change then go for it; change careers. You may not become rich right away, but it will come. If you have a passion for what you do, it will always be the right choice for you in the end.
