"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

I think you are asking the wrong question and you need a longer window of time to make a good career decision.

five years from now, what do you think you want to be doing and how much do you want to earn five years from now?

next, how will you make that happen?

I asked myself this question in January 2015 when I was earning $45k. I now earn $300k and just turned 40. Right out of the military, at age 27, I was earning $8 per hour!

Successful people think longer term and can delay gratification.

best of luck
As of when you posted this I've found a free program for the trades and am planning to become a welder.
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Insurance sales is a career that comes to mind, it is an easy career to get into i heard.

Stock trading on your own personal accounts is an instant start up, but it takes years of learning to be successful

that website called Onet is useful for researching various careers, expected salaries and job titles

Interesting points you brought up. I've had a couple of buddies dive into insurance sales straight after college. They did find it relatively easy to break into, but it definitely wasn't a walk in the park. They had to deal with a ton of rejection, which can be pretty tough, especially when you're just starting out.

Personal stock trading has always intrigued me. The whole 'financial freedom' and 'be your own boss' thing sounds super appealing, but it's no joke that it requires a ton of learning and experience. I've made a few decent trades here and there, but it's far from a consistent income, at least for now.

Regarding job research, I absolutely agree that sites like Onet are beneficial. But what I found even more helpful is a bit of elbow grease – good old-fashioned networking, informational interviews, job shadows, and stuff. It's a hustle but worth it to really understand a field. You can see this blog post I stumbled upon a while back. It has some fantastic tips on how to dig deeper into job markets and find those hidden job opportunities that don't always show up in a standard search.

Probably the fastest ways into a career is simply nepotism and somebody you know closely that gives you a free chance.

i live in NYC and have a very thick Australian accent and it can make business challenging when I am the only person from Australia
