100 Career Choices for Allison
Okay, by "career choices" I really mean "something I considered for a nanosecond at least once in my life." And somewhere around number 63, I started getting desperate. Fair warning.

O.K., so now you have this nice list. My question is, how good are you at self promotion? Never mind actual abilities, self confidence and self promotion are really key. I once had a male friend who spent many years going to beauty school (it's usually a pretty short program) and then had trouble passing the final exam. He seriously burned someone's hair during one of the final tests. Eventually he passed it though and quickly moved out of state. He then opened a salon in that other state and had fliers printed that said "The best-known stylist from Carmel is now in _____" Then he actually got some lab to make shampoos and conditioners with his name on them (and allegedly tailored to the specific climate of his new home.) He was immensely successful.
ReplyDeleteI would recommend life coach and home organizer as potential choices here. I would really appreciate a kick-back when you achieve success, as I know you will.
