Many people landed on their job because they don’t have any other choice but to grab the opportunity. Why? Simply because they are in need of money that can support their everyday needs. That makes them decide to forget about their passion and do something that they don’t actually love.

I am very inspired by your story. I am in the same boat looking for a job as a librarian, a job field where there are absolutely no jobs available.

Hey great story. Just came across the info now, and I had not heard of any of this before. I have found it comforting as after 27 years of working for the government and being a baby boomer with little retirement saved up due to life long expenses, I am facing a retirement situation that I am not ready for. I read a week or so ago that 15% of people do not have a cell phone. I am one of them, and have never embraced new technology easily. But I have a great idea for creating an app, but do not know where to take it. Anyway, good story, and real life is often more breathtaking than fiction.

Thank you for the inspiration! This has been a very difficult time, for almost all of us. I too, tired of chasing my tail, in numerous ways. Sending out dozens of resumes every day to black holes, working in a career that would literally break my back and leave me handicapped, but it had such a “cool” name, and good income. I was so unhappy. Thank you. I have many passions, and you have inspired to follow them. I wish you luck, you sound like things are taking a turn for the better for you. Good for you! Yes, I’m looking forward to hearing more as I see others are too. Your advice is invaluable, thank you so much!
Wishing you all the best!

You know what I want to do? Be a talk show host. And I don’t even think I’ve told many people that. Hearing your story makes me realize how silly it is not to spread the word about your dreams.

I hope you continue to post updates about your business, as I’d love to follow how things progress. And if you’re ever up for bartering services, I’d be happy to do some market research for you in exchange for some web design work!

Best wishes!

Your story really inspired me. What you are going through so many of us have experienced? But, you made it out. You cracked the system, broke through the media negativity. You made it, and we can too. Thank you for inspiring us.

Hi Jamie, Thanks for an inspiring story. I’ve been facing the crisis of finding job myself and it has been irritating. I also have my own passion and want to make it a reality one day. Keep writing and I’ll keep reading your blog!

Many thanks.

My wife has a bachelors for music education, went into graphic design business on her own. Enjoys it a boatload more than teaching! Do what you enjoy!

You mean “pique” your interest, not “peak” your interest, honey.
