Two years ago I asked a friend who worked for Wal-Mart if I could apply for a position I thought all Wal-Mart's, for that matter all businesses, could use. She said she didn't think they were hiring. That wasn't what I had asked.
Often companies themselves don't see what they need. I put together a job description so they could recognize their need and the perfect person to fill it.

Creating a job for myself -- what is that worth? (Do the math on the possible salary suggested.) There are lots of texters but few have considered making it a way to earn a living. It's such a common thing and everybody does it. OMG! A new possibility of employment born from an idea that went viral with relatively little training and BTW has become such a common way to communicate that kids can text before they can spell and those that can spell often forgo spelling for speed of transmission. LOL.
How many "jobs" are in front of us waiting to be recognized? How many innovative ideas can be turned into big businesses and jobs that we might have been thinking about but too busy to think through? I remember not that long ago looking at the rocks I picked up on my walks and realized someone had created "The Pet Rock" coming from the same ancestral lines as those sitting on my desk. Why didn't I think of that? We all have rocks abound.
There are multimillion-, perhaps billion-dollar businesses and jobs sitting within our minds just waiting to be discovered. Hum... that gets me to thinking ...
Wanted: Thinknician© ...
