...it would be very good to sit down and take out a blank piece of paper. On the left side of the paper start a list
and title it, "Skills".
Think deeply on everything you can do. Everything. I don't care if you are a woman or a man, what race, what beleifs.
Don't let anything stand in the way of putting down everything you can do. If you can screw a light bulb, put it down. If
you can wash a car, put it down. If you can write a novel, put it down. If you can draw, put it down, etc.
If you have computer skills, definately put them down. Use Microsoft Word? Put it down. Excel? Put it down.
If you are a Christian, now it the time for you to look over the skills you have written down. I'll bet you have surprised
yourself as to all the things you can do, if you are honest. Now, ask God to give you a feeling of drawing to those skills
He would like for you to use in your life work for Him. This may take a minute, depending on how close you are to Him.
If you are not a Christian, look over your skills and choose those that you think you would be comfortable using for
the rest of your life. No matter whether you are a Christian or not, even the world view is changing that you can only find
happiness in work if you realize the work is to be the service to the community you live in and to serve mankind with a professional
ability and sincere respect.

Now, let's get real here. If you are homeless or about to be homeless, right now an entry-level job would put the food
in the mouth and shelter over the head. But, this job is called "entry-level" for a reason. Actually, if you can get by with
just part-time, and use the rest of your time working on a career that God or you choose, you can use your "entry-level" as
a pathway to that "dream job".
Anoher part of that pathway is education. If, when looking over your skills, you see that there are weaknesses that could
be sharpened with more education, take a moment to consider more education.
If you are having problems reading or writing, do not let pride stand in the way of getting into a literacy program.
Beleive me, this will open all kinds of doors closed to you now. It does not matter whether or not you have a high school
diploma. It was not your fault that teachers did not wait for you to learn. Getting into a literacy program now will influence
the rest of your life.
