This comment is for Barbara Saunders, could you direct someone on how to review movies, and how to learn to coach on life/work issues? I like yourself, like having multiple part time projects to sustain myself, but how did you put it all together?

I’m a firm believer in having the coolest job possible. However, I spent most of my thirties hoping to find “the right” job or career only to have come to the conclusion at 40 that there is no One. I was asking the wrong question all the time. Right now, I manage a pet acupuncture clinic, do corporate writing on energy efficiency for very large companies and consulting firms, review movies, and coach on life/work and lifestyle issues. Who the heck knew I would ever be “a utilities expert” — and I wouldn’t want to be that alone. I’m a true anti 9-to-5er — the best scenario for me is just doing a variety of projects all part-time and temporary.

I think you wrote this book for me lol. I’m a 30 year old single mother working for great company but I’m absolutely miserable there. It’s not the job I envisioned myself working at my age. I’ve completed two years of college units but have not received my B.A yet and I fell this is blocking me from obtaining the job of my dreams:( Sandra
