Here’s a puzzle for you. I have often said that the way to fortune is to find something you’re good at, that others are willing to pay you to do, and that you enjoy doing. Success is assured, right?
Suppose you have a super power, but you can’t figure out a way to make it pay for itself. What good is it?
You comic geeks may remember that Peter Parker, the Amazing Spider-Man had this problem. He became a photographer.
I have a character who can read minds. What good does it do him? How can he make an honest living?
