As a man what role would I be allowed to have oh great one?

Sorry, I was busy with administration duties (out of booze again, had to buy more).

Men, you shall have the highest honour of all. You get to make the sandwiches. You will get to clean the house (yes even the toilet!) I know, I know such humble guys assigned with so much honour. Don't thank me, really.

Don't forget to render your partners their dues and everyone, don't forget about the spirit. Cougar, Jack Daniels, Smirnoff whatever. Don't neglect them. Always ask yourself "Can I do more in the spirit?"

I'll leave you with the words of 'Kong Foo Sing Fortune Cookies'...

One should cherish opportunities and work with joy.

Well now I'm just angry

i just read blondies wt review and it made me angry.

how can the society continue to place more importance on pioneering than getting an education or getting a good job?

why do these men insist on making young ones (and even older members) feel bad for wanting to have a secure future, what the hell is wrong with not wanting to live in a tent?

Meanwhile the elders who pushed me to do more had great jobs, fancy new trucks, every toy they wanted and could never go out in service because they were too tired.

How true! How many brothers can anyone think of that were of the lower class and granted privleges such as MS or Elder?

You're expected to 'do more', yet those who ignore this and make a career for themselves or go into business (usually building), rarely go out in field service themselves are 'promoted'. Never made sense to me, never will. Then they would look down on you in your rented home with second hand furniture as if you were trash while you're eagerly trying to 'do more' to please them...

P.S. Rant on here anytime lola!

Finding a career after leaving JWs

i find myself with no college degree and a secretary at 25 years old.

i know i can't stay here for the rest of my life.

so i'm trying to figure out what i could do to get myself on a path actually leading somewhere.

So here's my latest idea. I happen to be a great artist. I took 5 years of lessons and 2 years of college art. I also happen to be an incredible cook thanks to my grandma. Combine the two and what do I get?
Maybe I should become a baker. I'm really good at it and decorating cakes takes quite an artisitic flair. My idea was to start making cakes from home and then work my way up to opening a bakery. I could make more than just wedding cakes -- all kinds of sweets like cheese cakes, irish creme cakes, pies ... The only places to by that stuff here is the grocery store. The bakeries usually just sell decorated cakes, cupcakes, and candies around here.
So, I enrolled in cake decorating classes starting next month. What do you think of this idea. Could it work? pointers?

Damn straight it could work!

You most likely already realise this, the best career path is always a combination of what you enjoy and what you are good at. I've been going through similar lately, slowly getting there. It feels good when you finally have a plan doesn't it?

Pointers.... classes are an excellent start. You've found a 'niche' market, that's excellent. Business plan is a good idea as well, even if it's a rough layout of where you plan to be in one year, two years etc and the steps to get there. It's usually a work in progress, add to it daily if possible even if you only spend a couple of minutes. It will keep you focused.

Good luck with your goal!
