This is the exact problem I've been trying to solve in my thread about what to do for a living. I want to help people better their lives, but I'm holding myself back because I also care about what others think of me.
I think I'd make an excellent career coach as I'd be using my resources to help people who are motivated to succeed, but want to do this in addition to the job that I'm applying for now which is a job coach for people with developmental disabilities.
In your opinion, whoever reads this, should I discount what others think of my efforts and just go for it? Many conventional thinkers scoff at the idea of a personal coach; is there reason for ridicule or should I brush off their remarks?
If this is the plan of action I take, I'll feel extremely fulfilled, because I'll be helping the fortunate and the less fortunate!
