The Perfect Job
Things I Never Want to Do Again
I don't want to sell junk, more stuff for people to shove into drawers and pile onto shelves then throw out into the landfill. I don't want to convince people to buy things they don't need. I don't want to add clutter to the world.
I don't want to sell things that kill people, or at least make them very sick. I don't want to give cookies and convenience foods filled with hydrogenated oils and high fructose corn syrup to children, sickly adults, and people who are obviously obese already. I don't want to sell tobacco or diet aids to anyone.
I don't want to do anything that hurts animals, like sell meat, or sell dairy or eggs from animals that are treated inhumanely and are ultimately going to be slaughtered.
I don't want to do a job that can easily be done by a robot or a computer, especially if the reason why I'm doing it is that I cost less than the computer.
I don't want to make things more complicated than they need to be.
I don't want to be around people who seem to hate their lives and want me to suffer with them.
Things I Enjoyed Doing
I love working with kids.
I love teaching people new things.
I love helping people through difficult times in their lives.
I love helping people to help themselves.
I love making people smile or laugh, even if I have to make a fool of myself to do it.
I love doing something that other people find inspiring.
I love being around people who love life and have a passion for what they're doing.
I like doing jobs that earn lots of money (as long as I don't feel guilty about what I have to do to get it).
I love doing things that help the environment and, thus, all humanity, animals, and other forms of life.
