I Love My Work|48 Days 6/3/09 Episode
Only 6 more years of misery
1. I work at a job that is a dead end job; I will be doing the same job in 20 years as I do today. I do not like the job but it is stable and pays a living wage. The new job pays significantly less than I am making now. I could pass on this job and stick it out for a year and hope the labor market improves or take this job and struggle with the loss of pay. Any advice you can give would be appreciated.
2. I am self employed and have been for years. I am 33 years old and I started a cabinet shop 13 years ago. I was headed to college to become an architect but my father was killed in a accident. So I quit and stayed at home to help out. I decided to start my own business and that was to build furniture but that turned into cabinets which was fine. I have a true passion for this work. I do not want to do anything else but the economy is making it impossible.
3. I love your show. I’ve discovered that I love to read books. Is there a way to make a profit by reading books and writing reviews? Do you know of any solid resources, books, websites, etc on this topic?
4. Can anyone set up a store like this (Dan’s Reading recommendations -- http://astore.amazon.com/48days0b-20) and sell other people's products for a profit share or percentage of the take for the referral?
5. I have 30 years of service; however, because I started at such a young age I’ll need to serve another 6 years to draw full retirement benefits. The management for whom I work are unethical, unprofessional, vengeful spiteful beings. I fear I’ll not be able to endure the stress and aggravation much longer. I have 10 to 20 ideas a month with commitment to none and no knowledge of how to bring any of them to fruition. Do you think it would be unreasonable to take the leap of faith? Perhaps the only thing more pathetic than the situation as it stands would be to work unhappily for another 6 years simply to receive a retirement check. Help!
6. I have been in the security/personal protection industry for more than 15 years. I have been significantly impacted by the recent rash of violent acts being perpetrated in places of worship, and have felt the strong desire to establish a security consulting firm (I have named it already: Safe Sanctuaries) for houses of worship. Do you feel this is a viable business concept where an income could actually be realized?
