What alternative career paths have you considered or are interested in?

I chose university lecturer in history for my day job, but unfortunately that didn’t work out. In truth that wasn’t a bad thing, although it wasn’t good either, but it did leave me to work on one of my three callings, the spiritual field as a psychic medium.
I loved that work, it was hard, harder than people think, but also amazing and rewarding.
The strength of a psychic is that they can understand a total stranger on sight. We can feel what you’re feeling and help you to find a way forward. We can feel your truth, and no I’ve never encountered a bad person, nor have I heard many psychics say that.
Frankly, I know no one who’s read for a murderer, myself included, I can honestly say that most people are just hurting and confused. Trust me, if a murderer or abuser came near us we’d feel it before they walked into the room.
The strength of mediumship is that we can take people that one step from total grief to the start of healing, and bring comfort further along the line. Bearing in mind that true mediumship is based on verifiable evidence. Neither mediums nor psychics use ‘soft’ readings, spirit tell me you’re feeling a bit low today.
As you can tell I’m passionate about the work and love it, but only do it now when I’m called to do it. It’s the second thing that moved back a step.
Writer
The muse deserted me for over 20 years, and for that entire time a key piece of me was missing. I’d get flashes of writing, writing an entire series of poems in one day, then it would go again. The best thing I did was switching to WordPress and starting a proper blog.
The muse isn’t really back, but writing every day is helping me as a person, I feel whole again. Like me again. I’m also helping people I hope, just getting some helpful thoughts out there for people to put together in a way that supports them. That’s important to me and actually doing it feels good. I recommend WordPress to anyone.
This is my career path now, I don’t regret the two mentioned whether they worked out or not, and mediumship and public speaking are something I will still do if I get the opportunity or can make one. Public speaking being the form of speaking I realise I really wanted to do, lecturing in something as important as history would have been a wonderful second best.
So here I am! Right here, if you need some ideas to move forward in life.
