| 0:00.0 | This is the highly sensitive person podcast, a weekly podcast for people who experience the world |
| 0:08.0 | brighter, louder, and more intensely. Join me on a journey of acceptance of our highly |
| 0:14.4 | sensitive person traits. Hey everyone, welcome to episode 18. I'm your host, Kelly. |
| 0:22.3 | In the highly sensitive person podcast, I share personal stories and information about being a highly sensitive person |
| 0:29.3 | in the hopes that it can help other people learn more about themselves and become more accepting of |
| 0:33.9 | themselves, just like that information helped me when I first learned about it. |

| 1:20.1 | Today's topic is jobs, careers, professions. |
| 1:24.8 | The number one thing people search for at my blog, highly sensitive person.net, |
| 1:29.3 | is information on the best jobs for highly sensitive people. And that makes sense because your |
| 1:35.1 | career is such a huge part of your life. We spend most of our waking hours doing it. |
| 1:40.8 | Having a terrible job can basically make our whole life miserable. |
| 1:45.3 | In fact, a 2013 Gallup study showed that only three out of ten Americans actually enjoy their job. |
| 1:51.7 | That sucks. |
| 1:53.7 | We owe it to ourselves to find something we enjoy or at least don't hate. |
