The Advice People Give

When you're between jobs, people want to give you advice. Their intentions are good, but it can be overwhelming to sift through it all.

Here's a sampling of some of the things people have suggested to me:
Write a book. (multiply this by 5 times)
Write a romance novel.
Start a blog. (multiply this by about 25 times)
Start another blog.
Be a freelance writer. (multiply this by about 50 times)
Do PR for people.
Be a technical writer.
Write content for the Web.
Help people write resumes.
Be a substitute teacher.
