I worked all my life, and always hated every job. Then I read the book and learned that I might be well suited for a position I had never considered. Took a course and did well, passed and applied for a job.
If you can wake up on a snowy Monday and not hate waking up, you’ve solved most of your problems.
The book comes in two sections. The first part is a series of self administered tests in different areas, and the second part is a list of jobs that use those skills. So, some one with good dexterity and good interpersonal skills might make a good paramedic, or a good hair dresser. Two wildly different jobs, but using the same skills.
Sorry, I wasn’t really interested in the book. I actually think the career I ended up falling into was well suited for me. But I was just curious about what you do, specifically!
It doesn’t matter what I do. Like I said, the book might list twenty different jobs a person would be good at. Each job is unique, but uses similar skills. You use the same skills working on a hear/lung machine and making fantasy dioramas.
Thank you! I NEEDED this (I might be jumping the gun as I haven’t read it yet lol)
But I’m in this exact situation. I hate myself for my failure to find “who I am” and I just suffer shit job after shit job with absolutely no idea how to figure out what I actually want. I’m pretty much miserable every single day because of it… All I know is what I don’t want from my previous experience of shit jobs, but I have no idea how to find what I’m capable of doing.
This book actually changed my life.

Good luck.
