Ask the Readers: How To Find Work That You Love?
Published on - January 11th, 2008 (by J.D. Roth)
During yesterday's discussion about the value of a college education, several people noted that it's difficult to decide what to study when you don't know what you want to do with your life. This reminded me of a recent question from the Get Rich Slowly discussion forums. Shaun wants to know: How do you find work that you love?
It's been said, "If you love your job, you'll never work a day in your life." But what happens when you can't figure out what you'd love to do?
I've been trying to figure out "what I wanna be when I grow up" for over ten years, and I still have no idea. I'm driving a delivery truck now. No offense, but any dummy can do my job. I feel like I'm wasting away doing this. I could be doing so much more, but I don't know what I want to do.
Going back to college for a four-year degree is not an option. I spent four years in college already, in which I tried three different majors. I have around $19,000 in student loans and no diploma to show for it.
Here's what I do know: I like dealing with people. I like working with numbers. I really enjoy sitting down and making budgets and things like that. I've always done very well in math in school. I liked the accounting and business classes I took while I was in college, but hated any type of English class.
Any advice? I'm stuck in a rut.
Some people are lucky and know what they want to do early. For example, my wife always loved science. Kris majored in chemistry, and then found a job teaching at a nearby high school. She liked the work, but after eight years she decided to try something else.
She'd always wanted to be a forensic chemist, so she researched the job and decided it might actually be a good fit. She took a couple of classes, from which she was able to learn that the job did indeed match her strengths. Now she works for the state police crime lab. She loves her work.
I wasn't so fortunate. I floundered in college, searching for something I truly enjoyed. I never found it. After working the worst job I ever had, I wound up selling boxes for the family business. This was safe, but it wasn't fulfilling, and it didn't call upon my strengths. Still, I stuck with the position for sixteen years. It was only when I realized that I could make a living through writing that I understood I'd been cheating myself. Now I, too, am moving toward meaningful work.
But how can you find meaningful work without spending sixteen years selling boxes? Or ten years driving truck? I don't know. I'm not sure anybody does. In a fantastic essay entitled "How to do what you love", Paul Graham writes:
Finding work you love is very difficult. Most people fail. Even if you succeed, it's rare to be free to work on what you want till your thirties or forties. But if you have the destination in sight you'll be more likely to arrive at it. If you know you can love work, you're in the home stretch, and if you know what work you love, you're practically there.
Surely some of you have found fulfilling work. How did you do it? Like Kris, have you always known what you wanted to do? Did you sort of stumble into it, like I did? Or have you given up hope of ever finding a job that you love? More importantly, what advice do you have for Shaun?
This article is about Ask the Readers, Career
I found the job I love doing mostly by accident. A friend jokingly suggested it to me, then another, then another until I finally decided to find out more about it and give it a try for myself. It was something I never saw myself in but it fits me.
A job that utilizes your strengths, involves one or more of your passions, and has a working environment and situation you mostly enjoy is the most likely to be a good fit long-term. I think there's an element of fate or chance that comes in but the most important thing is watching for patterns in your life and taking those chances when they're offered. You never know what will happen.
Best advice? If you know you hate it, and I don't mean dislike (no one loves their job all the time), I mean hate – if the job makes you feel crazy and angry and desperate and turns you into someone you don't know – quit. The more time you waste in the wrong place the less time you have to do what's right.
For Shaun specifically – take one of those tax preparation courses H&R Block offer. They use these as a recruitment tool, so if you enjoy it, ask them what you'd have to do to help out with tax prep during the busy seasons. This combines dealing with people, accounting, and working with numbers and fits your criteria of not requiring a degree. You'll be able to find out what you like and don't like about that application of people skills and number skills without a big financial, contractual, or time commitment and the contacts you make might be able to point you in other directions. Try things and see what works – you might enjoy just diving into the work and ruling things out better than sitting in a classroom.
You might also consider doing a 2-year in accounting (if you're not ruling college out completely) to open up some more options. Try those career aptitude quizzes, try talking to people, but most of all try listening to yourself and what's showing up in your life. Best of luck to you.
Alas, problem is knowing what you really want to do and not being able to get to do it, like in Italy. Waste of gifted, young minds in call centers and shitty temporary jobs.
Finding work you love can be easy, if you're willing to be poor. I'm two years out of college right now, and I found a job that I love… for the time being. I get paid to write. Do I always write about things I'm interested in? No. But still – I get paid to write. I'd be doing writing anyway, so it's nice to make a living doing it. However, the work I actually love is directing theater. I do that for fun in the evenings, and do not get paid for it outside of a small stipend. By working as a freelance writer, I may not be making as much as I could as a full-time copywriter, but this leaves me the freedom to do what I love… which happens to be a little bit of everything. And who knows, maybe one day my theater directing skills will be worth something.
Ultimately, though, I think everyone would be happy if he or she worked for him or herself. Being your own boss gives you the power to do what you love. And that's most important in this short life of ours.
A job found me thatseemed tailor made for me. I say it found me because I set up a simple search in Craigslist in a few different local cities (and some far away) and added the RSS feeds for those searches to my reader.
If anyone posts anything with the words "podcast" or "pro tools" in any of those craigslist sites, I'm notified in my reader. I always have my resume ready to go, so it's a simple process to fire off a resume in response to an ad that sinds me.
Simple, no?
Go to the library & check out "What Color is
My Parachute", the "bible" of employment seekers.
Might also TRY various jobs on a part-time
basis, or even volunteer/intern part-time
while working your regular job.
The key is to SAMPLE other employment & you
just might fit the round peg in the round hole.
You can also take some tests (career/job) through a local college or employment agency. It helps give direction or at least some options you never thought of before. Along with that test is the Myers-Briggs test. Search for some of these online, there are lots out there.
I always knew I wanted to be an engineer, just like my grandfathers and my dad. My dad is a Mechanical, and I am Electrical.
My 23-year-old son has been blessed to find work he is passionate about. After graduating college with a degree in graphic communication, he decided to follow a dream. He apprenticed with a notable tattoo artist and is presently tattooing in a shop that he loves. He has an entrepreneurial flame in his heart that will eventually lead to him opening his own studio. He loves going to work everyday and makes terrific money. He is happy… because he followed his dream. He will be successful because he is willing to do the work!
To the person quoted in the post: Why not be a personal finance counselor? I don't know what sort of certifications you need, but it'd be a great way to work with people and numbers as well as make a difference!
I stumbled into my niche. But I think that a big problem is that you often don't know what's possible. Before I read GRS, it never occurred to me that someone could even be a box salesman. Before I applied for the job I do now, I didn't know it existed.
If you're looking to change careers, you might find that really similar jobs in different industries make all the difference. A friend of mine switched from working in utilities to luxury goods manufacturing, both jobs use essentially the same skills for different results, but the second job is a much better fit than the first.
There's another twist to this, which is that sometimes you "know" what you want to do in life, but once you actually get to do it for a living you discover that it's not what you expected. That can be even harder than not knowing what you want to do.
When I was barely a teenager, I knew that my calling was environmental education. I had my whole life planned out, I would start out as a naturalist and eventually run my own nature center. My friends in school, most of whom had no idea what they wanted to do, envied me. But after I graduated from college and had my first few environmental education jobs, I started feeling disenchanted with the field; more importantly I felt like I didn't have the talent for it that I thought I had. And it was awfully hard to make a living. My first fulltime environmental ed job paid $9,000 a year. Even today it's not uncommon to find experienced naturalists making less than $25K a year. So in my mid-twenties I had to let go of my dreams and start over, in something related but different. When you spend a good chunk of your life working toward something and then discover that it's not really what you wanted, it can be devastating.
There are no jobs doing what I want to do, only self-employment and entrepreneurship. But that takes money which I don't have and can't get.
Oh dear, as someone who has two very different college degrees (one in health care and the other in photography) I can relate to the struggle to find your passion. I still haven't found mine, but I'm heading in the right direction. I know I want to work in health and wellness, just not doing what I have been.
I started a new blog today! Please, come visit: http://www.frugal-parents.blogspot.com
Same here, that's why I'm going freelance soon. At my regular job I'm not paid much anyway… lol.
brad #8 makes a very good point.
One thing I've experienced is that sometimes your passions stop being passions once you're being paid to do / perform them. Sounds strange, I know.
Some time ago, I became very passionate about practicing yoga. I absolutely loved everything about it and finally decided to start a teacher training program to become certified. Six months and a few thousand dollars later, I started teaching yoga and hated it, so much so that I started to lose interest in yoga altogether and haven't practiced in years.
Thankfully, during that time I was still working as an engineer (as I am today). I'm definitely not passionate about it but it pays the bills (and then some).
Unfortunately, only a select few of us will be truly passionate about what we do for a living. Most of the rest of us will find passion in other areas of our lives and continue to work for a pay cheque but enjoy the evenings, weekends and maybe even enjoy the company of your co-workers to get us through the day.
Telly makes a great point, and I have found career inventories (such as Waves mentions)to be largely useless to me due to the fact that they all suggest one thing: I should be doing something with art. Now, I agree that my love of art and artistic endeavors is an essential part of my life, but to be paid for it would suck the joy right out of me. I enjoy painting, drawing, photography, and writing, but I find that deadlines and client expectations quash my creative mind, haha. I think that it's important to try and integrate some of your personal loves into what you do. It's not always easy, but it's worth the effort and your employers will recognize your efforts and your approach to such tasks.
Beyond that issue though is one that I've found to be true in any industry I've worked in: If you like who you work with, almost any job can be enjoyable. I'd rather dig ditches with a great group of people than be the CEO of a company I hate that's filled with coworkers I despise. Part of a job search, for me, is meeting the people I'm going to be working with and one question I always as in an interview is what the office environment is like.
Whilst few people maybe really passionate about their jobs, more can do something that they are good at, and that they mostly enjoy. Not every need has to be fulfilled by your job, but it helps if more than just money needs are.
I love my job, but I wouldn't describe myself as passionate about it. It's in a niche that I think adds value to society, it allows me to stretch myself intellectually, and it provides me with the opportunity to meet interesting people. It doesn't define me, it's not my life's calling, and I wouldn't do it for free.
One of the other things that I do is blog about personal finance, I love doing that as it allows me to be creative. I would do it for free if I had to. But (sorry J.D.) I would hate to do it for a job – that would make it un-fun for me.
"Freedom from the desire for an answer is essential to the understanding of a problem." ~ J. Krishnamurti
The best things in life are rarely ones that were "planned." Some of the greatest discoveries and inventions were "accidental."
So how do we create a fertile environment for accidents? For me, it is education. Learning should not be about one narrow subject that you feel will provide all the answers. Choose a broad subject (I have a bias to philosophy) that will open your mind to ideas and opportunities and, hopefully, makes you "think." Perhaps for someone else, it may be a masters in business.
In summary, we can not absolutely know where we will be five years from now. What we do TODAY is something that will give us OPTIONS tomorrow…
All you do is select the best path and the "accidents" will happen — life will come to you…
Y'know, finding work you love and finding a job you love don't necessarily have to be the same thing. Some people would say you should never settle for anything less than the best, but I don't see anything wrong with getting a tolerable job that pays the bills, and then pursuing your passions on the side. You can make a profit off of anything these days, especially since blogging allows anybody to be an expert on their favorite subject. If you're lucky, someday your hobby may become your main source of income — but if not, it's nice to have a safety net of the job you don't love.
If you flat-out hate your job, well, that's something else.
I've gone by the philosophy of doing what you like, not doing what you love. For me, the difference between work and hobbies is the obligation to do them. I don't want to HAVE to do something I love, because I would grow to resent it. Picking something I mildly enjoy, but not enough to spend a lot of spare time on, gives me the best balance.
I found out I loved economic analysis when I was in high school and one of my professors taught it. He helped me learn about it, and I went to college for such a degree, and loved it, and went to grad school. While I've bopped around econ-related jobs while in the government, each has been a step to being a bonafide economist, which is where Im at today.
I liked solving puzzles, and I like math, so its a very good fit.
Pay ain't half bad either.
I was very unsure of the 'work' I loved when I started college. I took calculus, psychology, and philosophy – among other things – my freshman year. I was struggling with depression, stopped going to many classes, lost my scholarships, and was probably in danger of flunking out.
Luckily, the associate dean of the college was advising students when I went to ask for help. She took me under her wing; I will forever be grateful to her, since I have no idea where I'd be if she had not pulled me up by my bootstraps.
She had me take the Strong Interest Inventory – a test akin to those Waves mentioned – and bring the results to her. It confirmed my uncertainty, saying I had Investigative, Artistic, and Enterprising (3 of six!) personality types.
We went over the example occupations listed for each group and determined that I was most interested in business/economics. At the time, I had no idea what economics _was_.
Because both intro to micro and macro economics were required for either a business or economics degree, I took them both over the summer. That is when my love affair with economics began. I enrolled in the 5-year B.S./M.A. dual degree program the economics department began to offer in my junior year.
I'm still working toward finding a job doing what I love. However, I have only tried two jobs (over 4 years). Though I currently only do it in my free time, the previous sentence hints at how I found work I love: I tried things.
Mildly enjoy? Uhm, doesn't work for me. I've accepted enough compromise til now and I feel wasted. I want to feel like I'm fully using my intellectual potential.
For Shaun: How about trying a job in college financial aid? You probably couldn't counsel people right away without a degree, but there's a good chance you could finish up the needed requirements for a degree on the dime of your employer. Everything you described you love doing fits in with becoming a financial aid professional.
I agree with the "do what you like, not what you love" sentiment here. I know there's not one job I would truly enjoy doing for 40 hours a week, because I have so many different loves and interests. So find the best you can, and absolutely try to work with a great group of people – the days go by much faster.
Unfortunately the things I would really like to do in life won't pay squadoo (activism, social work, not-for-profit work). The other work I've pretty much known I wanted to do – be a mom – doesn't pay much either, monetarily *G* I did become a massage therapist and loved that work, but due to my full-time job (and having no one to support me financially at the time), I couldn't get my foot in the door at a spa and get established, and eventually gave it up. I regret that a bit now, but oh well, I guess. So I stay in a job I hate in the hopes that the money and benefits I bring in now will help me do what I believe I really want to do – not work a 9-5 desk job and instead work with my (future) children
Oh, J.D., why would you make a post like this on a Friday?
I don't like my job, but, at age 29, I am encouraged because I feel like with each one I have, I learn more about what kind of job could make me happy. I'd like to share some things I have learned:
1. Discovering what you don't want to do is important. If you take a job, hate it, and quit, you haven't failed, you've just discovered something you don't want to do.
2. Don't take a job without a CLEAR understanding of what your duties are and what is expected of you.
3. Co-workers come and go. Your co-workers should never be the sole reason you leave a job or stay at a job.
4. Don't take one job simply to escape another. I've seen this written elsewhere and can vouch for it from personal experience.
5. If you have a job you like (even a little) and that meets your needs, but you think you want something more "professional" or "grown up"…STOP!
Two books that have helped me in my career journey are "Now, Discover Your Strengths" by Marcus Buckingham and "Is Your Genius at Work?" by Dick Richards.
The first book addresses what your top talents are. Theoretically if you choose a job in an area that utilizes most or all of your talents you will be successful in that field – and you'll enjoy it. If you purchase the book, you'll be able to take a test that identifies your top strenghts
The second book works from the premise that we each have an area of "genius" and that if we work in our genius we'll be satisfied and successful. The book takes you through a multitude of exercises to help you think through this. My husband figured his out quickly. I'm still working on mine, but I've learned a lot about myself in the process.
Both of these books have given me insight and direction as I decide on the next leg of my journey.
Shaun should watch The Persuit of Happyness . His description sounds exactly like the one in the movie describing Stock Brokers.
I think the big thing is that you have to know if you're passionate about the *job* or the *subject*.
I got into accounting for money, but I really enjoyed my classes. Fast forward a couple years into a real job, and a few notable things come out… it doesn't pay what my teachers said it would, and the clients are such a total mess that I wonder how half the businesses in town are still operational.
So you have to figure out what the actual job duties are of people in the actual job you want to have, not what the general skills are in a wide subject area. I have all the right skills they tell me I should need to be "in accounting", but with two major problems: I have a serious aversion to working for large companies, and I have a serious problem cleaning up other people's messes no matter how much I get paid to do it.
Those are massively important things to know. I'd suggest interviewing some people in the potential job you see yourself in. Find out how it actually goes. Find out what annoying things you're going to have to deal with every day. Find out what real people doing the actual job in your area are getting paid for it. Then try to see if those things really fit what you want to get out of it.
Hi J.D. (and everyone),
Last year, I read an excellent book called "How to Find the Work You Love" (http://www.amazon.com/How-Find-Work-Love-Arkana/dp/0140195246). I highly recommend it.
It is a very enlightening book, with uplifting quotes from many in history. My favorite was:
"Where your talents and the need of the world cross, there lies your vocation" by Aristotle.
I always loved art since I could pick up a pencil but I hated the idea of having to do it for a living. In high school I took a graphic design class and loved it! I spent the rest of high school teaching myself how to design websites. I eventually graduated from a private design college and now I'm at a job that I love. I get to be creative every day but I can still enjoy my hobby of drawing & painting.
Perhaps it's just me, but I think alot of people get sucked into looking for a job they love. It isn't a requirement. You are at your job to get paid.
That being said I think you should have a job you at least like, but you should also be concerned about getting paid top dollar for your time. You can always do what you love as a hobby or on a part time basis.
Take me for example, I do engineering because I like it and it pays well. I leave my love of writing/editing/publishing as a hobby, because I know the pay can suck.
Just my thoughts,
Finding what you love is indeed hard. I myself have been struggling with figuring out what I want and when I want it since 1998. School has been slowly playing in the background only kind of successfully. The only classes I ever seem to do well in are my art classes.
I've been majoring in business out of fear that art wouldn't land me a job I could survive with.
I don't believe in going to school for someone else, and I have a bit of a hard time responding to authority, being told what to do and such.
I'm beginning to think that my own business is the answer. Entrepenuership. Take some courses to learn how to manage a small business, and use my background and skills to apply them towards this goal.
That way I will do something I enjoy and be my own boss.
I talked a little bit more on this here:
i was fortunate. when i was eight years old my parents got us our first computer and i learned to program in BASIC. from that moment on i picked up things on my own, took classes when i could throughout middle school and high school; then went to college to pursue a degree in Computer Science and now i'm on a career track for a role in the software engineering chain at a small and growing software company.
i've always liked solving puzzles. in college i grew to like math and the processes used in figuring out complex problems; it was really hard, but i still really liked it. i think that's why i stuck with it, i like the challenge.
for the last three years i've been doing developer support for my company and i've loved it. most people think i'm crazy, but i like talking to people. so my job for the last three years has been making friends that are programmers and helping them develop with our product. lately thought it's been getting to me. supporting our product is largely the same deal for months at a time. we have new features but once you've got a solid handle on the product it doesn't usually add much that's difficult to handle. i had a chat about this with management and decided to apply for a tester position. i'll be starting that next month and i'm really excited to be able to stay somewhere i love and try out something different (that people have told me that's a lot of work but i'd probably be good at it).
so i was fortunate in finding out what i wanted to be when i grew up very early and had the presence of mind and will to follow through. and because of that perseverance and dedication i'm making almost twice what i was when i started in the professional world, i bought a house, and i'm well on my way to managing my debt away. i'm able to be so confident about that last part because of two things, my mom who was an accountant and has been teaching me prudent financial practices as long as i can remember, and this site. this site has helped me manage the debt that i have and be more mindful of how to make what money i have left work for my future. so thanks J.D.
I totally stumbled into my career as a banker. I was awful at math and algebra in school, and swore I wouldn't take any quantitative undergrad classes outside of the required "math for idiots."
Ten years later, I have an MBA in finance and work as a portfolio manager for a Fortune 500 company. The 20-year-old me would have laughed at the thought that I would work in the financial services industry, but I love what I do. I never, never would have landed here if I hadn't taken a part time job as a teller nine years ago (The only reason I even applied for that job was that it was in the paper and I needed work – and I was tried of bartending and waiting tables).
I really like my job – it doesn't bring me tons of joy, but it's fulfilling and I get to work on project teams and build new products which I feel really help people.
The downside to finding a career you love the way that I did is that you have to start at the very bottom and work your way up. My first banking job paid $7.00 an hour (back in 1999). Now I make six figures – but it didn't happen overnight.
I'm starting to believe in a different philosophy than "Find something you love and the money will follow".
I think the best solution is actually to get a job doing something that will pay the bills. Then, once you are good enough at the job that it becomes easy, start using the extra time to learn about your passion. Don't quit your day job, but start executing your passion in some way during your free time in the evenings and weekends. That way, as you spend the time it takes to be good enough at it that it could be a career, you will still be able to pay the bills and you'll be inspired by the time you spend on your passion outside of work.
Worst case scenario, as long as you are intelligent about your finances, you will start to stock pile a source of passive income. Then down the road you can start to work less at your day to day job and spend more time on your passion, even if it doesn't bring in any money.
The best way to find work that you love is to work. You learn what kind of job situations you like and which you do not.
Once you have a potential career in mind it is worthwhile to look at the classifieds to see plentiful jobs are in that career. Information interviews with professionals in that field are helpful too. You can learn how easy it is for them to make a living and you can learn what their daily professional lives are really like.
College tuition is expensive and every career path looks rosey at the level of an easy 101 introduction level course.
Doing these things before spending gobs of money on trying different classes/majors can save a lot of time and a lot of money.
Nobody cares if you start and finish college a few years late, even though to a kid out of high school it looks like a religious transgression
Check out the book " 48 Days to the Work You Love: by Dan Miller and foreword by Dave Ramsey.
I think the days of working at a job for 20+ years until retirement are largely over. While I like some comfort and security, the thought of having my life mapped out makes me anxious–almost to the panic level. My generation, (I'm 33 now) has been inundated with technology since birth. Everything moves so fast–we're accustomed to taking in a lot of information and processing it quickly. Is it any wonder we get bored doing the same ol' same ol' day after day? I've already switched careers 3 times. And none of them are related to the BFA in Graphic Design that I don't use professionally (although it is a wonderful hobby.) For years I wondered what was wrong with me–I get burned out so quickly. After some soul searching, I realized that it's okay to switch it up occasionally. Why not? Just don't burn any bridges along the way or compromise the good work ethic. You learn so much about a lot of things and become quite worldly. If you know that your next job/career is not etched in stone, you feel much freer to do what you want. Maybe that's the key to doing what you 'love', or something close to it.
I recommend a book I personally enjoyed reading book called '48 Days to the work you love' (48days.com)
Dan Miller (the author) takes you through a 48 day process that helps you find what you love doing and helps you find employment doing it.
* Not associated with Dan at all, just enjoyed the book.
Well, I'm an engineer. I work on software to automate vehicles. It's very tough work, and it's also very fulfilling. I sort of just fell into this work without really looking for it. I went to my college (Colorado School of Mines) because they didn't require an entrance essay. My GPA in high school was third quartile, and I got in solely on my SAT scores and a recommendation from on of my teachers.
When I left CSM, I was frantically looking for a job. I was told by my mentor that I had to "kill for my first job" Which I interpreted mostly as rejecting the jobs I didn't want. I found this job by asking a professor that had left CSM if he knew of any openings, and he passed my resume onto whom it may concern here, and they hired me. I interviewed at several places, got a few offers, but none that I would be excited to work for, so I turned them all down. When I got an offer from this engineering firm, I had a number in my head of how much salary I was willing to settle for to work in a job that I liked, and when I opened the offer, it was the highest one I had so far.
I love my job and I completely fell into it. I have a degree in marketing and international business from a very small state school. I moved 12 hours away from the area and started temping.
I temped with a company for two years before a crappy full time position opened up. I took it because I loved working at the company and I wanted to work for this boss. 6 months later he was shoved out and my department was eliminated. I was placed into a job encouraging our suppliers to be more sustainable and environmentally friendly. I get to travel, strategize, and make a difference. I work with great people. My biggest hint is find the right company and the right people, then find the right job in that company.
Another great book on this subject is "What Should I Do With My Life," by Po Bronson.
You can read several sample chapters from the book at pobronson.com.
I think one of the biggest issues I have with doing what you love as a job is diminishing returns.
No matter how much you love doing an activity, do you really want to be doing it 40 hours per week, every week, week in and week out? Eventually it starts to wear on you, because though you love what you do, you are still obligated to be there. 40 hours is a lot of time to put in each and every week, how long until you tire of it?
Personally, I work in the Financial Services Industry. At first I wanted to be an advisor, helping people run their finances in a healthy way and guiding them to longterm wealth. Unfortunately that's not really how the industry works, it's based on how many overloaded funds you can pass on to a client to get your commission, it's sales more than anything else.
I think for me the key is to have my income come from multiple sources, and I work towards that end. I do freelance writing, have my job during the day, invest and research dividend-paying stocks, fill out surveys, build websites to optimize in the search engine rankings to get ad revenue, etc. etc. If and when I can generate enough income through all these sources to quit my day job, I'd likely do it.
After all, my real passion is freedom
Shaun should consider becoming a bookkeeper. Small businesses and freelancers these days are more and more going towards independent bookkeepers — paying them for a few hours a week, rather than having someone in-house to do it all.
I've read a bit about this because it's how I intend to slide out of my current full-time job eventually. Shaun could even start taking on clients while he's still driving, both to see if he really likes it, and to be sure he'll have some income if he eventually quits driving.
You don't need a degree to be a bookkeeper and it involves the qualities he's looking for — working with people and numbers. Buy some books on Amazon and learn the lingo, and get comfy with some software like Quicken, etc.
Good luck, Shaun, whatever you do!
It's time to think out of the box here:
"Do it for the money and the love will follow."
It's a rare person who finds the job/career of his/her dreams. And if they do, they get bored with it after a while. Years ago, I decided to ditch the work I loved (a low-paid journalist) and went into sales. Was it scary? Yes. Was it profitable? Very. Paid off all debts (including my house), stuffed maximum amounts of retirement money away so now it is snowballing on its own (thanks to compound interest). I burned out in sales and now work as a "get-every-holiday-off, don't-work-too-hard" government worker. My sales money helped me make the transition. Yes, what I do is just a "job." But I get my self-worth and joy from hobbies, interaction with friends, caring for my aging parents and a desire to visit every country in Europe (which is possible thanks to ample time off and no debt). My advice is, don't get a career, get a life.
How to find work that you love? The answer to that could be as simple as going back to your childhood and recalling some of your most happiest memories – what was fun for you?
For myself, I played store in our basement w/my siblings & neighbor kids. I was in charge of the cash register & the displays with dolls and toys and cars/trucks, so when I was in my 30′s, I opened up a large gift store in a tourist town. I literally lived up to my potential running the store, and was very proud of its beauty, and treating the customers well, and I have to say that whenever I was running around in that store, and especially using the cash register, I could not get the smile off my face because inside, I felt like I was 10 years old "playing." I got to go through a second childhood, or a happy aspect of it, and earn a living too.
And so that's what I would recommend — making a list of some of your happiest childhood memories.
I have just tried to look for good opportunites wherever I am working and aim to change roles and hopefully get a somewhat better job (and raise) every 2 years. And I would consider myself pretty happy with my career and job.
I think it takes time and experimentation to find the right job you will be happy in, but your wants/needs also change over time too. I do things now that 10 years ago I never thought I would want to be doing. (sitting at a computer all day typing for example)
If you have a great family business to go into or parents that drive your schooling and pay for an ivy league college you won't be in this situation, but the rest of us (the majority) have to study hard, keep learning every year as an adult (new technology), keep our eyes open as to what the economy and our companys need and how we can leverage that to do something we like and feel that we are good at.
Sometimes I get a feeling a few years out of "hey I could do that" when I see a new role at work and within a few years of working toward it I am doing that.
It's good to have enough money set aside so that you can take time to get extra training or wait while you get experience first before getting that great new job. If you are in a desperate situation you will most likley make desperate decisions about work and money and probably not be happy.
I have a theory that if more people owned their homes and didn't have to worry about health care insurance they would tell bad bosses, bad employers and jobs they hate to "shove it" a lot more often. You're a different person when you aren't owned by the bank or beholden to your employer.
Thanks for the great posts, I really enjoy reading this blog daily
I think so many of us struggle with this concept of finding a job that really makes us want to get out of bed in the morning. And, like others have said, I think what motivates us in our 20s might not keep us going in our 40s or 50s. I am in the process of transitioning to new work that is my passion (celiac/gluten intolerance awareness and education-97% of affected individuals remain undiagnosed and, therefore, suffering with unresolved health issues that they have no idea are related to gluten). And, I am doing this transition while easing into retirement from my daily job of technical writing/editing. A year ago (while on a Christmas pleasure vacation) I read a book by Barbara Winter called Making a Living Without a Job: Winning Ways for Creating the Work You Love.
It is easy to read and very inspiring with simple concepts and exercises you do as you read the book (and you actually want to do the exercises, not skip over them) and actual success stories from folks. Since then I've subscribed to her newsletter and participated in several of her teleclasses. All of them have been fantastic! They are all full of fresh, simple ideas that anyone can implement. (I am not associated with Barbara Winter in any way—just a big fan.) I truly can't believe how far I've come in one year. I lead a local smaller celiac/gluten intolerance support group and I belong to another larger group where I write/edit for the quarterly newsletter, support national programs, etc. I have been speaking publicly to small groups and will be speaking at a Women's Forum attended by hundreds in March. I am getting travel articles with a gluten-free perspective published. My support group is growing leaps and bounds, meaning many more people are being helped. Now most of the things I have done to date have generated little or no income. But again individuals are being helped, and part of that is due to the minimal time I have had to allot to the effort due to my regular job. Even that factor is due to change as the success I am having has given me new confidence to move forward in all areas of my life to devote more time to my passion. For one thing, I changed jobs within my company two months ago and was able to transition from 5 days/40 hours a week to 4 days/32 hours a week at the same salary with full benefits. So in effect I got a pay raise (if you consider hourly rate) and now have a day off to pursue my new future. Previously, I would never have considered that such a schedule could be an option. Now I am looking at life differently and negotiating my needs better. The future is very exciting for me and as cliché as it sounds, I will be able to make a difference by fulfilling my new aspirations. Oh, last note, I do think the comments about thinking you want to do something and finding out it's not your dream job and the dream job becoming far less than that when getting paid for it are valid ones. One thing that Barbara Winter emphasizes is creating multiple streams of income and being open to different paths as they present themselves. She says that statistics show even with being an entrepreneur, usually what you start out moving towards is not exactly what you end up doing. I am fine with that … I figure if I go down a different path, it will be because I found it to be more meaningful in helping others, fulfilling or exciting to me personally, or lucrative (or maybe all of the above!).
Best to all,

The Miami Dolphins won their third straight game on Sunday, defeating the Buffalo Bills 35-8. Sunday's game was not only the 3rd straight victory for the Dolphins, but it was the 3rd straight game that they won by 11 points or more. In their last 3 games, the Dolphins have outscored opponents 86-20. That means the Dolphins average margin of victory is 22 points….This BEGS the question: How could the Dolphins look so good in the last 3 games, yet start the season 0-7? We've come up with a number of factors that could lead a reasonable person to understand why. Here are some of the possibilities, followed by a poll to see what you think is the leading factor.
Tough 1st half Schedule
The Dolphins played 4 of their first 7 games on the road and 2 of their 3 home games were against teams that lead their divisions (Houston/New England). Their other home game was against Tim Tebow and his bag of magic tricks. The Dolphins schedule for the first 7 games was not impossible, but it was not very easy either. A good team doesn't lose 7 straight game no matter who they are playing. BUT, we can see that as the schedule has lightened up (Chiefs, Redskins, Injury-Depleted Bills), the Dolphins have played better football.
Poor Conditioning/Lockout
There is no denying that the Lockout had an effect on the Dolphins early in the season. The Dolphins were bitten by the injury bug early and often in 2011. It was clear that the lack of a full offseason lead to many lingering injuries (Vontae Davis and Daniel Thomas – hamstring; Karlos Dansby – groin). We also learned that some players came in to camp over weight, specifically Karlos Dansby (25 lbs over weight). The flaw in this theory is that other teams/players had the same amount of time to prepare for the season. Why were other teams able to avoid a slow start?
Another effect of the Lockout was the limited time that new coaches/coordinators had to install their offense/defense. Brian Daboll's offense has looked great the last few weeks. He's mixing up his play calling and showing glimpses of innovation. Again though, why haven't other teams struggled with new coaches? The 49ers have an entirely new coaching staff and are 9-1…no slow start for them. The Lockout also doesn't explain why Mike Nolan's defense looked so terrible early in the season. The Dolphins defense returned 9 of 11 starters…so there was some continuity on that unit.
May, just maybe, the Dolphins players read too much about how good they were going to be this year. Many experts thought they would be on the fringes of the playoffs (they're not close right now)…..many thought they'd have a top 5 defense (currently 16th)…..many thought Chad Henne would finally deliver on the potential he had shown in the past (his inconsistency continued). Omar Kelly has said numerous times that the Dolphins have been very confident, bordering on arrogance, even during the 7 game losing streak. I put this more on the defense…maybe they bought into their own hype a little bit too much. Could this be the major factor in their slow start?
QB Play
Before Chad Henne's injury, he was having a typical Chad Henne season. I would argue that he looked better this year than he has in the past, but he still ended up throwing 4 TDs and 4 INTs. He had a great first game, throwing for 400 yards against New England…but as the season has played out, we see just how bad New England's secondary has been. The Dolphins were 0-4 with Henne as the starter (although the San Diego game, Chad's time was very limited).
By contrast, Matt Moore is 3-3 as the Dolphins starter. He has played 2 very good games out of the 7 he's played in. Maybe its the continued work with Daboll's offense, or maybe Moore is just a better QB than Henne. I've said this before, but I'll say it again….I do not think Matt Moore is the Dolphins franchise QB of the future. I think the Dolphins should draft a QB early in the 2012 draft and keep Moore on the roster. BUT, could an improvement of the QB play have been the biggest factor in the Dolphins turnaround? After all, Moore had the Dolphins in position to win the Broncos game, until the defense collapsed and special teams gave up the onside kick….He also lead the Dolphins to a 14-3 lead against the Giants and had them ahead in the 4th quarter.
Poor Coaching
This one goes right to the Dolphins main man, Tony Sparano. Following back to back 7-9 seasons, Sparano knew that he had to get the Dolphins into the playoffs this season…or he'd be out of a job. The team came out flat and fell to 0-7 on the season. Yes, the players appear to love Sparano, but then why did they play so poorly through the first 7 games? Could it simply be that Sparano isn't a good enough Head Coach in the NFL? It will probably take the Dolphins winning another 5-6 games for this to even be debatable. What's more likely is that the Dolphins will be looking to bring in a new head coach, as early as the 1st week of January. Good coaches don't allow talented football teams to start 0-7, do they?

KPMG recognizes that today's economic environment is forcing insurers to rethink the way they conduct business. Volatile markets, disruptive technologies, and a complex web of new regulations and compliance issues have brought financial services companies to a crossroads.
Long gone are the days of simply collecting, investing, paying, and reporting. Today's insurance executives face complex market issues such as regulatory uncertainty, evolving governance and risk management frameworks, sustaining operational performance, and maintaining liquidity.
KPMG's Insurance professionals know how to transform today's uncertainty into opportunity for our clients. We view our insurance clients' current challenges as possible breakthroughs that can transform their operations and create a sustainable advantage. We have accepted that change happens and business will never stop changing.
We work with leading insurers to help them redirect these changes - with the goal of creating answers to their most pressing business questions.
Our two point of view papers, focused on the property & casualty and
life insurance and annuity space, respectively describes our ideas on
how insurance professionals can approach the challenges that confront
the industry.
Evolution - not revolution - is happening within the insurance industry, according to the 2014 KPMG Insurance Outlook Survey

BLOOMINGTON, Minn. (AP) -- How do you supersize a megamall already brimming with more than 500 stores, 50 restaurants and its own roller coaster-boasting theme park? Add much more glitz.
Construction at Mall of America in Bloomington will result initially in 50 new shops, more eateries, another luxury hotel and an office tower. An NHL-sized skating rink and world class water park are on the drawing board, too.
It's part of a $2.5 billion expansion aided by a $250 million tax break approved this spring by the Legislature. The St. Paul Pioneer Press reported Tuesday that when the expansion runs its course the mall will have nearly doubled in size.
Mall officials say the renovations keep the destination fresh. The mall attracts 42 million visitors annually and the expansion could lure 20 million more.

Varsity crew season starts March 12. Yet a group from the Newburgh Free Academy varsity crew team has been in training with the school's head coach Ed Kennedy since the season ended in June.
McKnight, a member of the crew team, was on the NFA championship team that medaled in May during the Eastern New York State Championship. Although the team did well, it was the Bay Shore crew team that took the coveted divisional win, a title that Newburgh hopes to capture this year. "We really want our team to win the Eastern New York State Championship," said McKnight.
As details for the competition are confirmed, we'll pass them along. Meanwhile, for information about the crew team, call Kennedy at 541-2313. For sponsorship or vendor opportunities, contact Juliana LoBiondo at firstname.lastname@example.com.

The photo of a Liberty Tax waver has gone viral.
Liberty Tax says they are very proud of Jesse Howerton, a first year waver at their Morristown, Tennessee office.
They say Jesse exhibited great respect and kindness for the folks in his local community by simply being respectful enough to stop what he was doing and kneel to acknowledge a passing funeral procession.
A simple gesture that meant so much to the sister of the man who had passed that she took a picture.
Liberty Tax franchisee Mark Stewart spoke about Jesse's actions and the subsequent post and he says that he has also received several phone calls and people stopping in to say thank you to Jesse, including the man's father and his widow.
Liberty Tax says one of the principles at the business is: Be honest, show respect and have integrity.
Jesse certainly accomplishes that.

"I am so happy with my choice of Woodland Wonder! The quality of the print and paper are excellent. I also took advantage of the design service; customer service is outstanding. The invites were packaged well with a timely delivery! I would definitely order from Tinyprints again!"
"It was very quick and easy to personalize these invitations. I didn't change the font or any colors and am very pleased with how these printed. The design is cute, but not too cutesy which is what I was going for. The quality of the paper (I went with the default choice) is great, I honestly don't see the need to upgrade anything! The designer reviewed my project and replied to me quickly. Overall, an outstanding experience, I will be a return customer for certain!"
"This is a beautiful invitation. The card stock is heavy and the texture is smooth. Others had said the print was hard to read but I didn't find it that way. I will indeed order again from Tiny Prints."
"These cards are perfect: sharp graphics with standout color, precise text, nice weight to the card stock. Perhaps best of all was the service - they arrived lightning fast, even though I only chose standard shipping. Tiny Prints is consistently awesome. :)"
"I ordered these for my sister who has alternative tastes and they are just perfect. Couldn't want for anything else :-) thanks very much!"

Beyond Fabric's Makeover
As you might've noticed, a few weeks ago Beyond Fabric received a visual upgrade in terms of the blog's logo and header: this was the work of my good friend Zé Pedro Abreu (an outstanding designer). When I called him I wanted a strong trademark image people could easily recognize and associate: the whole creative process was a breeze as we shared the same thoughts on several subjects, and thus Beyond Fabric's image was born. I've been wanting to post this for a while now, but I was expecting my business cards to be delivered so I could present the whole concept. Instead of being printed, the cards are made through the use of stamps containing the necessary info. Here are some photos of the concept and the final result:
The real deal
Also, I wanted to ask Zé a few questions and was awaiting his return from London where he recently took part in a project related to London's Fashion Week and the London Design Festival. Here's what he had to say:
Q: We can say you're a successful designer. What drove you into it?
A: Let me start by disagreeing. I am not a designer. I am not a successful designer. Everybody wants to be good, but not many are prepared to make the sacrifices it takes to be great. To many people, being nice in order to be liked is more important. There's equal merit in that, but you must not confuse being good with being liked. Most people are looking for a solution, a way to become good. There is no instant solution, the only way to learn is through experience and mistakes. You will become whoever you want to be.
Q: Design and fashion have always had an intricate connection. How do you feel design affects and influences fashion today?
A: It's quite obvious that all the creative fields are influenced by a large number of stimulus. They don't have to be related. That's the nature of the creative person. All creative people need something to rebel against, it's what gives their lives excitement. I can't precise what effect or influence design has in fashion, as you said, " they have an intricate connection" and it's quite difficult to set them apart. We design fashion and fashion as a result, has a graphic image.
Q: You've recently been to London's Fashion Week as a collaboration with a design association - Untold. How did the opportunity come up and how did it go?
A: I wanted to give my career a spin so, I've invested in a self promotion campaign to reach new clients and partnerships. I have set an ambitious goal - to be present at The London Design Festival. It was a very difficult goal, hard to reach, but after some research i have found the last call for Untold - an exciting opportunity for designers and creatives to showcase at this 3 day event, either on the Catwalk or at the 'pop-up' Boutique. This was a highly subsidised opportunity to gain exposure, showcase & sell my work to a mixed audience of press, buyers and public. With the anticipation of this year's event growing, numbers were expected to increase again as Untold opens their doors for London Fashion Week and The London Design Festival. Untold is a collaboration of newly emerging designers and artists, all of which have encountered the same barriers when venturing into the big wide world of design. This year they were Partners of The London Design Festival and the London's Fashion Week. I applied and 1 hour later i knew I had won the double decker route master bus to expose myself right in front of the Design Museum. It was a great experience.
Q: I'm aware that you're also a fashion enthusiast. Which are your favorite designers and those who inspire you the most?
A: Ralph Lauren without thinking twice.
Q: What's your most wanted item at the moment?
A: An Hermès crocodile leather jacket or a Warby Parker's Vintage Frame, then you can call me a successful designer (laughs).
Q: What can we expect from future projects by Work-Play-Work?
A: I want to achieve the unachievable. I aim beyond what I am capable for. That's the core of Work, Play & Work.
Q: Best advice for youngsters wanting to follow a career in design?
A: Question. Question everything. Work hard and work for free. Once, a very special friend of mine told me "if you're going through hell keep going" since then I have this quote always on my mind and it gives me the strength I need to keep calm and carry on.

NARRATOR: Welcome to Georgia O'Keeffe: Abstraction.
BARBARA HASKELL: Georgia O'Keeffe is known—celebrated—for her landscapes, her flowers, her paintings of pelvis bones, and the realistic subjects.
NARRATOR: Exhibition Curator Barbara Haskell.
BARBARA HASKELL: And yet, throughout her career she did abstractions. It was the first thing she did, and in a sense, the last thing she did.
NARRATOR: Abstraction played a fundamental role in O'Keeffe's art. It gave her a way to express feelings that she could not express in words. Many of O'Keeffe's abstractions don't contain recognizable imagery. They focus on her experience of people and places, rather than on realistic appearances. Some abstract works—like the large 1963 painting in this introductory area—take the natural world and distill it to its most basic elements. As the artist explains in this 1970s interview, she painted this work after looking out over the sky from an airplane window.
GEORGIA O'KEEFFE: I was flying out from the big city, and the sky looked like you could just go out the door of the plane and walk right out to the horizon, the clouds looked so solid. Well, I couldn't wait to get back to paint it.
NARRATOR: The boldly planar form of the sky and dense rhythm of the receding clouds allow us to share her sense that we might just walk off into the horizon.
Our tour continues in the gallery to the right. There, we'll see some of O'Keeffe's earliest abstractions. Just look for the numbered audio label.

From the Left Hand Corner: Careful, civil comparison for Congress
The Eighth Congressional District is huge. It runs from north to south from the Canadian border to the suburbs of Minneapolis-St. Paul, and east to west from Wisconsin to Wadena. Several of its eight-plus state Senate districts and 16-plus state legislative districts are larger than some states in the United States.
So we have a very unique situation shaping up for the coming year.

"Why Can't We Solve Big Problems?"
I'll be giving a TED U Talk in Longbeach at the end of the month. I'll be asking "Why Can't We Solve Big Problems?" I think that blithe optimism about technology's powers has evaporated as big problems that people had imagined technology would solve, such as hunger, poverty, malaria, climate change, cancer, and the diseases of old age, have come to seem intractably hard.
I'd love to know what the TED Community thinks our difficulties are - or, even if the idea is true at all.
Here's a URL to the story I wrote in MIT Technology Review on the subject: http://www.technologyreview.com/featuredstory/429690/why-we-cant-solve-big-problems/
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Feb 23 2013: I. Who says we can't solve big problems? If I measured my child's height, and then measured it again a week later, my friends would laugh at me if I complained to them that my child wasn't growing. Who's to say what the appropriate time-constants for change are, in such a huge dynamical system as our World? About a hundred years ago (only a hundred years!) the son of a President of the United States died because his blister became infected, and there were no antibiotics. That our progress isn't shared by all is indeed a tragedy, but there've been many huge problems solved in the past 100 years.
II. Who's to say that we can choose which problems are solved first, and legislate when they must be solved? That level of control over nature and mankind is indeed a very Western conceit. The "illusion of control" makes us impatient with all the small incremental steps we take as we slog through the swamp of reality, one step back for each one+ step forward. cf. The Tao Teh Ching
III. Perhaps there are seeds of an answer in Pontin's MIT Technology Review article "Why We Can't Solve Big Problems"? I suggest looking at the 3 orthogonal dimensions: 1) Leadership, 2) Technology, and 3) Stakeholders. The Technology is probably almost there, no? The Stakeholders are extremely diverse, many perceiving that they're involved in zero-sum games, hence hindering cooperation. Finally, could it be that the Leadership is sorely lacking. A Leader (or Leaders) must have the charismatic power and legitimacy (of a JFK) to craft and impart a Vision that can mobilize the stakeholders' buy-in, and the economic and political power to galvanize the Technological machines of governments, education, and industry.
"Without vision, the people perish" -- Proverbs
From the above ruminations, I suggest that the issues are more a matter of Will, Leadership, and Sustainable Commitment to a Vision, rather than technology, education, or short-sighted venture capitalists.

Fit Blogger We Love: Knead to Cook
Written on September 5, 2013 at 10:43 am , by Lauren Cardarelli
Need to stir up your go-to healthy eats? Robin over at Knead to Cook has what you crave—muffins, cookies, pies, you name it—without the guilt. And whoa, it shows! The fit mom who sticks to an impressive six-day workout regimen (three days running, the other three hitting the gym for cardio and lifting) cut down on sugar and recently lost over 30 pounds, making major PR strides. We'll have what she's having! From lightened-up, homestyle Italian dishes to perfect pre- and post-workout fuel (check out her addictive No-Bake Energy Balls below), this gal cozies you up to her table like you're a part of the family and proves that nutritious cuisine can taste good, too.
My favorite way to workout: Running, especially in the fall and winter. I'm definitely a cold-weather runner.
My biggest motivators: My two daughters. I want them to look at me as an inspiration for what is possible. They shouldn't use age as an excuse—ever!
My favorite fit snack: Non-fat Cabot cottage cheese. It's packed with protein and I mix it with Justin's almond butter; it's such a treat! I cannot get enough of it.
Motivational mantra: "No one ever drowned in his own sweat," by Ann Landers. I actually have it written on the chalkboard wall in my kitchen and I look at it every single day.
My "I did it" moment: Even after running a marathon, my biggest "I did it" moment was recently, at the Beach to Beacon 10K, when I ran it in 49:01. That's my fastest race time yet, thanks to my recent 31-pound weight loss.
No-Bake Energy Balls
- 1 c old-fashioned oats
- 1 c toasted coconut flakes
- 1/2 c dark chocolate chips
- 1/2 c almond butter (or whatever nut butter you have in your pantry)
- 1/2 c flaxseed meal
- 1 Tbsp chia seeds
- 1/3 c + 1 /4 tsp raw honey
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch salt
Mix together in a bowl and refrigerate for 45 minutes. Remove and roll into balls. (Robin uses a small scooper!) Place in an airtight container to refrigerate for 5-7 days, although they will most likely be long gone before that!

Huron S.D. (KELO AM) - The fund is designed to help ranch families impacted by the blizzard with immediate financial needs: cash for groceries, utility bills, or whatever they feel would be helpful to their family and household.
We truly believe Farm Bureau is a "family," so Farm Bureau member families will receive first priority when the funds are distributed.
County Farm Bureaus in the affected area West River will submit names and needs to South Dakota Farm Bureau, and those in need will receive funds by check.The Fund will remain open beyond November, but we hope to have the bulk of the donations collected by November 22 so that the total may be announced during our SDFB 96th Annual Meeting -- and so that the funds may be distributed shortly thereafter.
How it works:
- 100% of your donation will go directly to ranch families impacted by the blizzard.
- The "South Dakota Farm Bureau Cares Fund" has been set up at Farmers & Merchants Bank in Huron, SD.
- Donations are tax-deductible.

Someone did call the operator at the University of Colorado Hospital eight minutes before the July 20 massacre at an Aurora movie theater began — but the caller was silent and asked for no services, according to a hospital official.
An attorney for James Holmes in court on Thursday raised the suggestion that the suspected killer in the movie theater shooting called the hospital seeking out his psychiatrist, Lynne Fenton.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
But hospital marketing director Brad Fixler on Friday said the hospital received no calls that day for Dr. Fenton or any psychiatrist.
"I do know that on July 20, at 12:31 a.m., we did receive a seven-second call," he said. "The caller said nothing and hung up. The switchboard operator answered and they hung up."
Aurora Police say emergency 911 calls began coming in from the Century Aurora 16 Theater at about 12:39 a.m. with frantic people reporting someone was shooting guns inside Theater 9.
In Thursday's court hearing, defense attorney Tamara Brady asked Fenton whether the main hospital phone number could be used to contact her after hours.
Fenton said she believed that it could be used to reach her.
Brady then asked: "Do you know whether James Holmes called that number nine minutes before the shooting started?"
"I don't know," Fenton said.
The prosecution asked Fenton whether patients are given another number it they need to reach her in an emergency. She said they are.
Holmes is suspected of walking into the Aurora theater at 12:39 a.m. and opening fire on the audience that had packed the cinema to view the premiere of the new Batman film, "The Dark Knight Rises."
Twelve people were killed and 58 were injured. Holmes, 24, is charged with 24 counts of first-degree murder and 116 counts of attempted murder.
The discussion came up at the end of Fenton's appearance in court during a hearing that focused on the
doctor-patient relationship between Fenton and Holmes and whether a notebook that Holmes mailed to her that arrived after the shooting should be considered privileged correspondence and not part of the court case against Holmes.
Prosecutors argued that Fenton's professional relationship with Holmes ended on June 11 and the CU psychiatrists had no contact with the former CU graduate student after that date.
Defense attorneys argued the professional relationship was ongoing and any communication between the two should be privileged. The sides will continue the discussion on Sept. 20.
The question of whether Holmes had tried to call Fenton before the shooting could have given weight to the argument that the doctor-patient relationship was still strong.
