Are you your job?
This might sound like a weird question, but for so many people it is a hard one to answer. Let me rephrase it – how big a part of you identity is your job?
Throughout our lives, we are introduced to other people with certain qualifiers:
This is Jimmy, he’s a student at NYU.
Have you met Maggie? She works at PWC.
My friend Rodrigo – he’s an actor – saw the movie…
But at what point do those qualifiers cease being what we do and become who we are?

You’ve sent out over a dozen resumes and are now twiddling your thumbs as you wait for a response. You’ve organized your closet – twice – and can’t even think about watching another Judge Judy rerun without wanting to vomit. Yet you’ve got to do something with yourself or you might just go crazy.
Why not start a blog?
Blogs are an awesome thing for New Opportunists to do with themselves while they work on getting other elements of their lives in order because they can focus attention, help connect them with other people, potentially provide insight to a new profession, and even help make a few bucks.
One of the best things about blogging is it can be anything you want it to be – from a personal journal to a full-time business. There is such a huge spectrum for blogging and billions of potential topics that it means there is room for anyone at any level of involvement.
