How to Decide on a Career

Your job career should, whenever possible, be something you enjoy and something you seem to be naturally good at. Everyone on this planet is good at at least one thing, and most of use are good a several or more things. You can be good at a lot of things.

Don't overly focus on the money, or which career pays more. You might be really great at creating and baking pies, and also good at delivering structured, well thought out and logical arguments. A few friends say you would make a great lawyer, but is this what you want for a life career? Maybe you could start small with a bakery and then expand it into a huge enterprise making millions of dollars a year. If you are happier practicing law then become a lawyer.

A job doesn't have to be a daily grind in which you can't wait to clock-out and go home. You can do something you like and are good at, from home if you want.

Maybe you are good at something but need more knowledge. Consider classes at a local college or online. Get yourself better at what you already have a good solid base for understanding.

If you are young, try different careers and don't feel permanently attached to any one until you have that epiphany realizing this is what you want to do.

If you are going to take the time and effort, not to mention money to go to college, pick a major right away and get the most of your studies. An undeclared major can be a costly mistake.

The best careers are the one in which we really enjoy the work we are doing, and we're getting paid for it. Examples of this are musicians and other artists, writers, professors, scientists, dancers, architects and many more. Discover your interests and try to incorporate them into a career.

How to Make Vanilla Bourbon Chicken

Photo: Herbscapes.com Yesterday a neighbor gave me a small jar of Madagascar Bourbon vanilla she has been curing for about six months. The vanilla beans stood in a brown liquid of vanilla and bourbon. For some reason I immediately thought of chicken. I will definitely infuse this liquid gold into some dessert creations, but I happened to have three chicken filets in the fridge ready to make their culinary debut. I rinsed the filets under cold water and placed in a plastic bag. It occurred to me that if I poured too much of the vanilla bourbon into the bag, it would be absorbed by the filets and overtake the flavor, knocking out the fresh German thyme I planned to top on the cooked meal. In plain English: it would be too strong. I carefully dripped about an eighth of a teaspoon into...

How to Water Your Herb Garden

Photo: Herbscapes.com We have found through years of practice and growing herbs that too much water can kill an herb. Many herbs are native to a Mediterranean climate, a climate that is fairly dry, with periodic rain. Even if you live in a hot, humid climate, too much water for some herbs will spell their demise. Examples of herbs that do not need a lot of water: oregano, thyme, lavender, rosemary. Mint herbs may wilt with out enough water so they stand out as a exception but still do not require much water unless you see them starting to wilt. So, with herbs sometimes it's better to resist the temptation of over-care and just allow the herb to grow without much attention. Of course there are exceptions to this and the best practice is to monitor the herbs and if any look sick then take the appropriate action.

How to Stop Fighting When You Have Young Kids Involved

One of the saddest things you can see is a married, separated or divorced couple escalating their fight against one another when there are children involved. It's so very sad for the children, words can hardly describe. What is even sadder is the couple may be actually fighting over the kids, like the kids are some kind of commodity. They each say they love the kids but what is really happening is they are being selfish and treating their kids like a product. If they really loved their kids they would allow the kids to chose who to stay with, as long as it's in a safe, good environment. Once the kids get old enough to really make decisions on their own, they will look back and make their own conclusions about which parent was right. If parents are fighting over children and a home the children are living is unsafe or unlawful, the struggling parent should allow the governing laws to address the situation. This requires patience and lots of work. If the homes of...
