Plenty of folks have stepped back and started to make the switch to a new job or career path over the past year and a half, realizing that whatever they had been doing had just become routine and either didn’t make them happy or was always leading to a dead end. But others only know that they need something new, without knowing what, exactly, that is.

I stocked shelves in a supermarket for 3 days and was both surprised by the amount of people shoplifting food/necessities in plain view, and entertained by the look on their faces when I told them it’s fine by me before walking away

I love my job so much. Paid training, entry level job, and I get for my mileage. I was working at target when I got diagnosed with cancer this year. I said if I make it out of this, I will do whatever it takes to do what I love no matter what the pay is.

I’m a welder in a factory. I’ve been doing factory work since I was 17, so this is familiar and oddly satisfying. I find comfort in the familiarity. I work for Polaris, so I get an employee discount on ATV’s and the pay is good.
