I suggest dropping "do what I'm best at" in favor of "do what I like best".Farmwelding wrote:No I am in Beloit so about two hours-but I'm just a junior in high school right now so...I have to think about what kind of work I want to do-and see what I am best at. I figure I'll do what I'm best at and make money doing a damn fine job and work on my skills at home in the mean time.
What you like best will ultimately pay you more, because your enjoyment equals enthusiasm for it, desire to improve at it, and willingness to show up every damn day to do it.
I'm good at a bunch of s@#t I don't like doing and would never be happy making my income with.
I can finish sheet-rock mirror smooth, then put a hand-done skip-trowel texture on it, and finish it in a five-color glazed rag-roll faux-finish that will make you think you're in a 1000 year old Tuscan Villa. I would be paid damn near "fine-art" wages for this. I won't do it. I stopped enjoying it a long time ago; The fun went out and it became tedious.
