Career choices for the uncreative
« on: July 14, 2013, 06:26:17 PM »
I've been worrying about money a lot lately...

And wondering- not everybody has a marketable talent- and that is not to say that they can't be very wonderful people with many stellar qualities.

Just how is some wonderful person like that supposed to provide for their family?

Apply for a job which does not require marketable talents. For example- people have successfully provided for their family by cold calling property owners and offering refinances. You collect commissions. No real talent necessary beyond talking. You can do it too!

Many professionals are paid nicely for the skills they learned in college or Grad school, not for their inborn marketable talents. You can get a degree in many many fields as long as you can motivate yourself to get through school. Then you will be an attractive job candidate to many employers.
