Hi there, I have been looking for a job for some time now, and this week I have had 2 offers. One is for a sort of psychic hotline, and the other one is helping the police solve crimes. For those who don't know me, I am a psychic, and that is what I do best. I really do not know what to choose, because I would like to do both, but both is not an option. Which job would you choose?

If it was me I would go with the more humanitarian option. At least helping the police solve crimes will lead to closure for victims and possibly removing a few more parasites from society whereas a psychic hotline really only benefits the owner of the service and is a lot more self-gratifying. I guess it depends on how you gauge meaning and purpose in your profession. If you are a giving person who believes that you have been given a gift for the purpose of helping other people, take the police job. If your nature is more selfish (that's not necessarily a negative thing, it simply is what it is) and you will get more out of the attention and accolades that you will receive as part of a psychic service then do that. Life's too short to not be happy in your work.

You are totally right, ofcourse I will get paid a little when helping out the police. And I agree with you that is the nicest option to help people. I also think that it is indeed a gift that I have and want to use it to good use. But bills have to be paid also. Thanks very much for your response

Absolutely agree with goinline etc. You'll get more fulfillment helping out the police. And as for the money - who knows, if you help bring justice for a rich family maybe they'll reward you handsomely.

Yeah,purpose is very important for choosing a job.You will not be happy if your job is foreign to your purpose. But payment should be taken into acount. It is related to your happiness too.maybe you can choose the psychic and help people as possible as you can in your off hours.

You mentioned that you are a psychic, and it is what you do best. Then you could probably go for the psychic hotline position since you're good at it anyway.

Oh, in that case, maybe it would be good to help the police using your psychic abilities. :) Good luck!

Do you do readings? I love talking to real psychics. There is one that used to live here close by, well about an hour away. She moved to another state though and now does it over the phone for her customers here. Do you do this also? There is a lot of money to be made in that industry. Why can't you do both? Why can't you do the online thing on the side? Like part time. I would want to help the police if I had that ability. I would love to read tarot also. Do you know how?

Yes I am a psychis who does readings also, but in some cases I work more as a medium than as a psychic. I can also communicate with spirits past. I know how to read tarot as well, but to be honest that is not really my thing. I will look into the option of doing both, but I did not think it was an option, since I also have 3 children. Thanks for your response

I think perhaps the second job can bring you a new challenge. But I am not sure how you can help the police to solve the crimes. If it is not dangerous and the paid and time is good, it is not a bad choice. As to a job for psychic hotline, I know you will do it well. But sometimes you will pick up many calls everyday and therefore sometimes you will meet some unreasonable people and that will be so frustrating.

Hello mistissa. I think that since you cannot make both ends meet, you would have to choose one between the two options. Or you can have a compromise like this--take the job helping the police solve crimes during the day and take the job as a psychic hotline during the evening hours. This way you would have the two favorite jobs in one day without losing one. Good luck, dear mistissa.

hi,
i think and if i would have had given these choice, i would like to opt for the helping the police solve crimes as there the exposure is more as compared to the other one.I somehow feel that interacting for solving crimes with police would be related to all the fields and woudnt be confined to solving psychic only but to evrything.that mite givce more experience and exposure in other frields as well and you may get a good knowledge about all this.all the best.

I advise you to ask the man who do this job , in my opinon , if you are female ,advise you to do convinient jobs ,such as psychic hotline, because this job you can do it by yourself, and do it well. Of course ,what job to choose is your choice.
