I haven't made a vast study. On the other hand this book has been in print for over 30 years.

Did you actually look at the book I wrote about?

Get this book.

"Discover What You Are Best At" by Linda Gail. It's a series of self tests you can do in half a day, and a list of jobs that use those skills. Fro example, product demonstrator and nurse and hair stylist all need good dexterity and good people skills; three totally different jobs with a similar skill set. The book also has a list of jobs for each skill set, including education requirements.

Second, start applying for civil service jobs. In most of the US a civil service job has a good union and good benefits

Think about it this way. In 1960, minimum wage was $1.00/hour and the average home was $11,000.00 In 1968, when Richard Nixon took office, 'middle class' meant one Union job supporting a family of four. By the time Bush Sr. left office in 1992 "middle class" was two college jobs to support the household.

There are six self tests in the book. Things like math, mechanical problems, leadership, etc.

"Discover What You're Best At" by Linda Gail.

I found this book when I was out of work due to an injury. You can do the self tests in half a day, and the jobs they suggest go from entry level to college graduate. When you can get up on a rainy Monday morning and feel okay about going to work you've solved most of life's problems.

I'm sure he's happy somewhere, knowing people are still enjoying his writing.

For you, I'd suggest 'I, Robot,' by Isaac Asimov.

It's a short story collection with a bunch of logic puzzles. the writing is clear and easy to follow and the conundrums are engaging.

the tl, dr is that every 90 years a dozen young people become reincarnations of various ancient gods from all over the world. Amaterasu is one of these.

Fun book and worth a look

Does this mean that by voting Republican we can secure abortion rights? The answer is no.

Actually, by your own post, in Alaska it does.
