This is Steveer Robbins. Welcome to the Get a Done guys, quick and dirty tips to work less and do more.

We have more stuff today than ever before in human history. We have more food, more drinkable water, more usable energy, and of course more Pokemon. And we produce all of it with unprecedented efficiency and scale.

But we are still light years away from the science fiction world where everyone shares in the benefits of our mega abundance,

so we still use money to decide who starves and who has solid gold toilets, cocaine, and lobbyists.

How do you get money? First and foremost, you inherit it. And if that doesn't work,

you might luck into being one of the first entrepreneurs on the ground floor of an explosive

new industry. And of course, if that doesn't work, maybe you can invest intelligently. Well,

but in the real world, 99.99% of us never make much money except by having a job. And finding a job is no easy shakes.

Job hunting, you see, is a paradox.

It's a skill, which means, of course, that you get better with practice.

But if you do it over and over, that means you aren't actually finding jobs that are a good

match, so you're just learning bad habits.

If you find great jobs, then you don't

job hunt very much, so unless you just happened to spontaneously be good at it the first time,

you don't get good at it. As a result, most people who are thrown into a job hunt flail around

and usually don't know what to do. I spent several years doing career coaching and job coaching

a few days a month at Harvard Business School, and a curious pattern emerged. There were four themes that kept coming up, and these

themes limited and expanded the scope of people's job searches. First, industry. Some job hunters

want a particular industry. I don't care what the job is as long as it's in entertainment.

I've been passionate about video games my entire life.

How can I get into the game industry?

Medicine is my calling.
