I recently lost my job and need a new one. I have a 4 year degree and I have a have held many different types of jobs. That being said, I don't really have expertise in any one field. I am kind of in a position in my life where I can and want to start anew, with a career that is actually fulfilling, or at the least, one that doesn't make me want to kill myself. Any ideas? I've thought about going to trade school, maybe become a welder of something, but idk if 2 years of no pay is feasible right now. Regardless I need to figure something out. I am not an idiot, I am a fast learner, and I am fully confident that I could perform almost any job to a satisfactory level (except maybe some jobs that would require some previous specialized training). So does anybody have any bright ideas?

TL/DR: I need a job. Where should I look/apply?

(I almost want to post my censored resume to get some input.... but I'm not THAT stupid. Lol)

I been making soap professionally for a decade personally for two decades. It's a slow art skill to master. It's a lot of fun too.

I really enjoy it. I don't know that I have fun making it, but it is definitely enjoyable. I guess I feel stressed to make sure that I do everything correctly, until it's done. Once I go to cut my loaves it's fun though! I love seeing the designs when I use different natural colorants. I also have a lot of pride in them, I love the earthy looks, the way my skin feels when using them, and the feeling of the luxury of being blessed with access to the internet to learn to do it, as well as the ability to acquire the things I use to make it. It gives another facet of appreciation in life.

What got you into making soap? Do you specialize in any particular kind?

I was washing my ass in the shower one day and said "what the fuck is soap anyway? Is this some bullshit they tell me I need just to sell me my whole life? Is it just sone dumb bar of goop that washes away or is it important?"

So I started learning about soap, and I discovered that it IS important and unique and amazing. I learned the history of soap and how complex and rich and awesome it is. And then I learned about the different detergents and sbit that is in new soaps. I went down the rabbit hole. Skin health. Fatty acids. Animal vs vegetable.

I usually make a cold process soap now. I started with hot process, and sometimes I still make an hp when I feel like it but cp is prettier for customers. I make several kinds

Skin health. Fatty acids. Animal vs vegetable.

Same for me, except I learned about it in regards to health and food before soap.

I use tallow and lard in my soap for that reason. I also like using castor, coconut, avacado, almond, and I just made a new formulation with hemp seed oil. It's not done curing yet so I haven't tried it. I milk my own goats every day and use it for the soap as well.
