is your job all you want it to be?

There are MANY ways to make money while doing what you love.

The ultimate job is the one that peaks your interest AND pays well. For instance, purple bear's owner loves linguistics and would love to get a job in computational linguistics. And while that's nice to think about, it takes money to get there (doctoral degrees are not cheap you know). So there are other ways to make money in the meantime. Let's look at each one.

First, there's that job you do every day and don't get paid much for. It's time consuming, and keeps you from getting where you really want to be. It also takes time away from what you really love doing. Purple bear calls this the "oh, damnit! I don't feel like going to work today" job. If you're lucky, this type of job won't last too long. A good example of this is purple bear's grandfather. Purple bear's grandfather's most successful day was when he got laid off from his Bergen county job. While he was doing something he loved, the system he worked for was just too burdened and limiting. Now, he's a successful psychotherapist. He has lots of time to devote to each of his many clients. He even offers his services through email. If you're interested, check out his website: www.psychotherapythroughart.com.

Next, there's the part-time job you do while spending more time doing what you love. These jobs are often completely irrelevant to what you love to do. For example, a yoga teacher might bartend a few nights a week to supplement his income. Bartending might go against this yoga teacher's basic beliefs, but hey, it pays the bills. This type of job eats at you. Every time you do it, you are forcing yourself to go against your morals.

Okay, so maybe things are actually going well for you. Maybe you're a successful business owner who is satisfied with your income. Maybe you have the career of your dreams - the one you can't wait to start every morning. Maybe your part-time job is enjoyable AND well-paid. But more likely than not, you are struggling to make time for what you love doing, and you are also struggling to pay your bills. Purple bear has a solution.

Now, mind you, this solution is not for everyone. Purple bear recommends it for people like his owner, who gets summers off (yay teachers!). It takes some research and MANY hours at first to start. But once it gets going...you'd be surprised! Anyway, purple bear wants to warn you that there are many scams out there.
