What Will You Do with Your First Million?
Firstly, your issue has nothing whatsoever to do with earning a million dollars. The real issue is between your ears. The money is out there, and remains out there despite your difficulties with bills, and other financial obligations. Some of you well know those scenarios, I’m sure. I certainly do; most of us have had them. But the rest of the world doesn’t care. They’re busy earning a living. But you ... your cellphone is threatened with disconnection, the power is about to be turned off, you’re late on your car payment ...

Flight Attendant Recruitment Process
Back in July 2017, I finally plucked the courage to apply for my dream occupation of being a member of cabin crew. I have studied the subject in depth for 4 years, I have 6 A levels all within the travel industry. It’s a passion of mine, I honestly find it fascinating.

So You Want to Be a Film Director?
I’ve spent the past 20 years making a living (occasionally lucrative, often precarious, seldom steady, largely rewarding) directing films. In the main, I've enjoyed a career I know I am very fortunate to have and I've travelled the world—from the North Pole to Saudi Arabia, from Kenya to Brazil. It has seldom been plain sailing, and at times I have navigated stormy waters, struggling to remember why I chose this ridiculous life, convinced that I’ll never work again or be able to feed my children. I’ve nearly frozen to death filming an expedition in the Arctic, nearly boiled my blood in the Arabian desert, seen the back seat propelled from a helicopter in which I was filming high above the Nigerian Delta and negotiated with the head-honcho in Rio de Janeiro favela. And throughout, I've worked with some of the most wonderful and some of the most trying people known to man.

It's Alive!
Most of you readers know that Joey and I started "Two Feet Below" with the idea of joining able-bodied people who want to learn more about crip life, and help crips get through this thing we call life on this berg we call Earth through our experiences.

The Year that Kohl's Saved Christmas
2017 was a bit of a rocky year and the turbulence hit a frenzied level when I lost my job at the beginning of May. What followed was five months of struggle—collecting unemployment, a small part-time “consulting” type gig that was inconsistent at best and the fear that at age 53, my best years as a marketing professional were behind me.

How To Know Whether You Would Make a Good Mortician
The first thing I imagine people think I should say is that you need to have a strong stomach. This couldn’t be less true. I have been a Mortician for almost two years now and I have never been in a situation where my weak stomach has almost turned inside out. Sure, when I first began, the initial shock of seeing a person inanimate was a bit intimidating. You expect them to sit up or roll over and say “just kidding guys!” But they just continue to lay there with their mouth agape. And when I was presented with somebody who had laid in a pond for over a week, even then my stomach didn’t turn because I had a job to do and you tend to be much too focused on that. So my initial statement is this: you do not necessarily have to have a strong stomach to become a mortician.

Best Careers for Former Teachers to Seek Out
Being a teacher is an honorable pursuit, but let's be real—there's a reason why there are so many people who end up switching jobs after getting a Bachelor's degree in Education. The system is stacked against teachers on every side; students are difficult, parents complain if their kids fail, and the administration generally doesn't care.

Fire Your Boss and Free Yourself
You don't have to fire rounds at your employer's office, but how great would it feel if you could? I'm not suggesting either that you immediately call up your boss and tell him/her to shove their job up their backside and into the seventh circle of Hell.

Best Careers for Introverts
Being introverted can make certain aspects of life more challenging than for people who enjoy being in front of crowds and strive in social scenarios.
