Which job suits you?
What should I do with my life? Many of us in the LGBTQ community seem to settle for jobs that are within the realm of easy possibility rather than finding and fulfilling our true purpose. But how do you know what you are called to do? How do you choose the career that best suits you?

How choosing your best career can improve your life
In this episode of Queer moneyI share my own long journey to purposeful work. I explain how I racked up $34,000 in credit card debt after college and what inspired my transition from retail to a career in financial services. I describe the first signs from the universe that led me to my goal, including an inspiring episode from Oprah and the achievement of paying off our $51,000 debt.
I then talk about the kick in the pants the universe gave me in the form of depression and a difficult boss, and evaluate how our savings gave me the resources to put my W-2 behind me and the Debt Free Guys- to start the platform. Listen to learn how my life has changed since pursuing my true calling and be inspired to choose a career that fulfills YOUR purpose!
