Work and jobs
How do I find out what job is right for me?
Every love has jobs near it. Animals lead to shelters and grooming; music leads to venues and stores; sorting leads to stockrooms and mail rooms. AI maps the doors; you and your person pick one to knock on.
The steps
- Name what you love doing most.
- Ask: what jobs are near this?
- Pick the one that sounds most fun.
- Ask what a day in that job looks like.
- Tell a person you trust, and plan one visit together.
Stay safe
- Benefits like SSI have work rules: a benefits counselor is a free first call.
