I recommend this book all the time. “Discover What You Are Best At.” Linda Gail. I got it when I was about your age. It’s a series of self tests you can finish in half a day, and then a list of jobs that use those skills. For example, a product demonstrator and a paramedic both need good social skills and good dexterity. Totally different jobs with a similar skill set.
I found that just taking the course was helpful, because I was interacting with the other students.

Reminds me of a science fiction story. A regular type guy happens to look like a big star. The star sues the regular guy for copywrite infringement
That Danny DeVito! Is there nothing that genius can’t do???
Good answer!
Short-term they’re different,
That’s like saying in a million years everyone will be dead, so why do anything?
The Right always votes for the GOP candidate, and the GOP candidate is the guy who wins the primaries. Most folks don’t vote in the primaries, so the most extreme guy almost always wins.
Meanwhile, there are people on the Left who hate AOC because she hasn’t pistol whipped Nancy Pelosi.
Hitler came to power because the majority couldn’t settle on a non-Hitler candidate. Now you’re saying we should do the same thing.
That happened after Trump tore up the treaty, right?
Thank you. You’re going to get a lot of nonsense where people keep telling you that voting is meaningless. Don’t listen.
You do know that Obama signed a peace treaty with Iran that even the Israeli Mossad said was working? You knew that, right?
So, both sides are the same and don’t vote?
Funny how every time the GIOP does something awful we see a lot of BoTh SIdes ArE The SAMe memes.
No actual plans or ideas, but lots of memes telling people not to vote.
I lived in New York City on 9/11/2001.
The Village Voice was a weekly ‘alternative’ newspaper that covered politics, culture, and the arts.
The pot smoking hippies ran dozens of predictions of what would happen. that included two cartoons.
One showed Dubya as Mickey Mouse. the sorcerer’s apprentice was chopping up a broom that looked like Sadam, and getting a million little brooms that looked like bin Ladn. The other was a buddy cop movie where Sadam and bin-Ladn are forced to work together, and eventually learn from each other
Tom Wolfe said that if a person goes from middle class to homeless in a shelter their life changes 50%. They still have the same clothes, watch the same TV shows, eat the same kind of food.
If someone goes from being a billionaire to middle class their life has changed 100%.

Except that the rich know who to bribe with campaign contributions.
Look at Ronald Reagan. As an actor, he was not a giant star. Plenty of folks got a higher salary. Reagan lucked into a job as spokesman for General Electric, at the time one of the biggest companies in the world. Reagan hung out with the big shots and introduced them to his Hollywood buddies; in return he got stock tips and investment opportunities that made him rich.
You’re middle class if you’re still working for your money. You’re rich when your money works for you.
A $5 million a year actor/athlete still has to work; they are also paying for their trainers, agents, dietitians, clothes etc. They are upper middle class.
A trust fund baby with an income of $1 million a year is the rich one. imho.
Getting dirt on her was how J. Edgar Hoover first gained power.
He was the master of intelligence gathering and built giant files on all his enemies.
