Career change

Hi all,

I think I have come to the end of the line with my current job, I am really suffering unbearably from one day to the next.

Does anyone have any ideas of new careers that don't involve being in front of a computer all day or having wifi on?

Really tough decision...do you continue to suffer on good money...or do you take the 'health before wealth' approach?  probably biggest decision of my life so far, would appreciate any ideas, or hear from anyone who made a similar move.  What did you do?  Did it work out for the best?  

Would be great to hear from you..

I have no job, but a little $50/mo bookkeeping gig and a zillion ideas floating around in my head. Yet I can't ever seem to get anything off the ground. The latest one nagging me is that we could really use a one-stop-web-shop for safer electrical gadgets - fans, heaters, phones, and on and on - safer both electrically and chemically. Bill Bruno really seems to know his stuff on this topic, but I can't apply a word of what he says to my real life - because I don't understand the lingo. I keep filing away notes about products/reviews as I hear about them.

I bought one of the air-tube headsets and I think they are much better but the cord is too short and I can't get far enough away from my computer sound system. I tried several different extension cables, but they didn't work. It would only take a slight modification of the existing product to make it better.

Maybe we could work with LessEMF to set up a west coast distribution center, or to extend their product line to the above and more. Or some other company.

There are the sites now for obtaining crowd-funding for new and innovative ideas. You just need to know how to promote it and get people to take a look. There are so many sensitives now, I think the prices of products could start coming down into a more affordable range.
We could supply "rental", test, or second hand gadgets for people to try.
We could have a super-directory for clinicians all around the world that will help heal this affliction. Maybe we could even get an "angel fund" for those so debilitated they can't work and are stuck in a downward spiral.

Or ... I need a biz partner or team to help keep me on track. Here's an "execution plan" for just $47 to start bringing in cash from an E-Commerce site in just 3 days. http://digitalmarketer.com/lp/ecom/?utm_campaign=[DM-eComEP][10-14-2013]&utm_content=New_site_and_new_sales_in_3_days_or_less&utm_source=House+Email&affiliate=1301 You just need to learn the skill of writing effective ad copy.
This E-commerce site could sell all kinds of screened life-enhancing products, rather than life-destructive ones. I keep a file on what these are. Once set up computer time would be minimal. This system teaches you to use the incredible power of amazon.com

I could go on for 100 more pages. You can hire people for $5 at fiver.com to do the computer intensive work. You can broker workers at fiver.com to provide services in your local community and still charge rates far below going price. You can write an e-book in a weekend and sell it through the Kindle system at amazon.com - and I have a pile of info on how to do that.

I've got ideas, writing and research skills, but my decision making and execution sucks! I remain spinning around in non-productive circles, but with the right like-minded team, with complimentary skills, helping keep me on track, I think I would really rock. Skype voice and chat provides a great real-time interface for working with a team of people scattered all over the world.

There are many things you can start-up while keeping your full-time job until the start-up is bringing you substantial income. I was even looking at some techniques to use with stocks, to make a few thousand a month, but I just can't get my head into the stock market thing.

Karen, hoping my spinning stops soon!

Hi Karen,  Taking what you are describing, and simplifying it down to something more potentially manageable (and concrete), it seems that you would make a good "EMF Coach".  I haven't heard of EMF coaches before, but there would seem to be a great need for them.  That way, it would not be a difficult- to-manage, abstract web site that would be at the hub of your business, it would be just you, the person, resourcing all those things from the web yourself on behalf of someone.  You can literally just start to operate from where you already are.  As we all know, even with the "experts" out there, it helps to have a coach who knows their way around a field to hold one's hand and to help find answers to all the stupid questions we don’t have the nerve to ask the “experts”;  to search out the specific information we need; to help put it all together and generally troubleshoot.  You sound like you would be a great EMF/Electrosensitivity coach.  It would require someone with a lot of curiosity and willing to search out information and put it together in creative ways.  A coach wouldn't need to be an expert themselves, just knowledgeable enough to be able to use experts.  These days, even people who are not electrosensitive just want to protect themselves from it (so they don't eventually become electrosensitive. ) And it doesn't require a license, etc.   Just an(other) idea...  

Thanks Ellen,

That will give my brain a new angle to take a look at. Still I'm thinking of a team as my Asperger's type traits don't make me the best person to be the public interface. I'm more of a back room, let me wear tank tops and sweat pants type, and my mouth has a mind of it's own, sooner rather than later instantly alienating people.

Where is my niche,
Karen

Paul,

I'm in a similar situation.  You might try to find a job that would let you work from home.  That way, it would get you away from WiFi.  Some job postings mention the word remote, instead of saying work from home.  I've also seen flexible work arrangements mentioned, which means different things depending on the company.  In some cases this just means you can pick what hours you work.  But in other cases, it includes the option of working from home.

Hey Hud,

Did you mean Karen? If so, I am on the other side of the continent in
Baker City, OR - the Eastern Oregon boondocks. I also keep thinking - it
is so remote and unpopulated on this side of the state - maybe something
could be done to obtain and secure a low EMF area - maybe some valley or
canyon - we also have a legislator that is trying to blanket the Oregon
wilderness with WiFi/cellular reception. Idiot!

Fuming about that,
Karen

Please do tell how to make an aluminum mesh bed enclosure to block RF for $50.  Where does one purchase the mesh?
