Risk Is Risky - That's Why The Fool Card is First in the Tarot

 "Harvard MBA grads aren't getting jobs like they used to" - Insider, December 28, 2023

Overall, employer demand for MBA graduates has fallen off. And that's even for those with that degree from a prestigious institution like Harvard Business School. Right now in hiring season only 86% of Harvard MBA graduates received job offers, compared to 95% in 2022. 

Over and over, advice on professional anonymous networks such as Fishbowl Consulting warns not to invest in matriculating for the pricey MBA degree, with the exception of maybe a shot at a career change.  And that's only for a shot. 

Employers are buying skills, not an academic credential. Reddit Career Guide is full of laments from the BA/BS Class of 2022 who remain without that first job, mostly because they simply lack the right experience.

The obvious takeaway is this: There is risk, plenty of it, in professional life. As well as everything else.




That's the overall message of The Fool card in the Tarot. The deck opens with that major card. Yes, risk is embedded in everything. But the specific message is that is you are in sound spiritual shape - connected to the universe - you can navigate risk, all kinds. 

That is twofold:

1) You will be wise about calculating risk. If your research shows that the MBA is no longer yielding the tradition ROI, you will do a lot more investigating before enrolling. That includes figuring out other options to achieve your career goals.

2) If the risk doesn't pan out as you expected you will be able to bounce back. That is, you will not lose total self-confidence. This is a setback. It needn't be experienced as a catastrophe.

Painful Long Half-Life of Trauma: Did Prince William Marry His Mother?

Image
  It was September 6, 1997. A number of psychics such as myself entered a grief trance. We became one with the trauma of Princes William and Harry as they walked behind the coffin of their mother Diana. The pain, I keep picking up, likely hasn’t abated in substantive ways. (Currently, it is agreed, placing them in that forever visual of their personal histories was thoughtless and cruel.) Here we are. It is said that boys marry their mother and Harry seemed to do exactly that in choosing Meghan Markle. Like Diana, she was never going to fit in. There was going to be lots of hurt to go around.  The surprise, though, is that the supposedly less fragile William might also have married his mother in choosing Kate Middleton. We don’t know that, do we? But there is reason to speculate that’s might have been exactly what occurred. Amid the conspiracy theories circling about MIA Middleton (There has been a recent photo op of her mother driving her in car), is this one in the 03-11-24 edi

Yes, There Are Content Workers - Many of Them Are Freelancers

"A majority of workers feel they’re fairly paid, but at the top of the list are independent workers across all industries, according to a recent survey of 2,500 American workers. The findings suggest that while earning what you think you’re worth is important, so is having some power over when and how much you work for the money." -  The Wall Street Journal, June 26, 2023 Today we call them "freelancers." Among them is Paul Chaney whose field is communications. On the all-important LinkedIn Profile , Chaney actually uses that term: freelancer . Not so long ago, those watching his back would have nudged him to go by the moniker "consultant." Recently, Chaney had me as a guest on a podcast about how the over-50 (who, of course, encounter so much ageism), can freelance. It received an award from Media Dimensions. Here you listen to that podcast and perhaps find your own way to freelancing.  Contentment with one's work has become the new American Dream.

The Long Half Life of The Feel-Good (from doing good)

Image
The for-sales could have run on Craigslist for 16 more days.  Then came that Ah-Ha moment. Given the low prices you get for used furniture, even though in excellent condition, why not just donate the barely used innovative bed set, artsy storage chest/prism, snow-removal equipment and karma icons.  I knocked on a neighbor's door. When I described the goodies her face lit up. You bet, she said, her husband would be right down the stairs to bring up their new stuff.  Their five-year-old would tag along with some of her stuffed animals to place immediately in the chest.  That family is delighted. The glow spills over to me. And I need that as I continue to put together the logistics for relocating back to Sierra Vista, Arizona. It's a must move, so soon after coming here to the Midwest.  Those who had heard of me back in AZ have offered me contracts for ongoing tarot reading sessions. The region has three resort areas.  Here there is only one resort area - Geneva on the Lake - and
