The PERFECT Careers For Each Of The Zodiac Signs
You may need to reconsider your current job situation.
weheartit In the second episode of season 3 of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, Kimmy takes a career aptitude test. For Kimmy, the test says that the perfect job for her is crossing guard and while Kimmy loves that idea, she doesn't let the test limit herself.
There are times that we get stuck on the idea of a job and never try to do anything else. We get comfortable and secure. It’s much easier to stay at a job you don't love that still gives you a steady paycheck than venture out and try something new.
You may know exactly what kind of career is best for you and you may have had all the training and schooling that you needed to land a job in that field. But could you be overlooking some of your hidden talents and abilities?
The character Kimmy Schmidt would probably be a great crossing guard but she’d also be a great waitress, actress, or tour guide. Everyone has endless possibilities of the things that they can do to earn money.
The problem is we can get stuck in thinking that we’re only suited to one kind of job and we narrow down our vision of our future.
There may be jobs and careers that you’d be amazing at that you’ve never even considered. Maybe you thought that you didn't have the skills or the temperament needed, or perhaps you believed that the job was too out of reach for you.
There are times when we have to have faith that we’re capable of all kinds of things and that, if we fail, we’ll learn from our mistakes. You may not be instantly good at a job but if you have the ability, you can learn to be great at it through study and training.
If you’ve never heard of a gig where you pet kittens all day, you might not ever know what kind of job you'd love. Here are the best careers for the zodiac signs.
