i put together a career planning guide that has 3+ general paths (3rd path is DIRECTLY promoting permaculture):

1) (critical) research, reporting, (strategic) planning of human activities at a wholistic, systemic, big-picture, epidemiological level for awareness-raising, planning/action-implementation
2) observing/evaluating/assessing/inspecting and reporting of industrial (or too-commercial) activities/operations
3) designing and implementing / setting up "permaculture" alternatives

4) demolitioning industrial infrastructure

a general comment-insight on this guide is that the more societal support there is, the more likely is a more advanced path - path 4
(more detailed document guide with some specific examples is here)

One of my joys in life has been job hunting.

I liked meeting new people and learning from these interviews.

On one interview I was asked to spell brochure.  I had never hear the word and asked what it was.  I now can spell it and know what it is.

Most of my interviews came from ads in the newspaper or from an employment agency.

What would your advice be on how to implement your plan once a person has chosen a career from Path 1?

Just curious why would someone chose Path 4, demolitioning industrial infrastructure?

i'm a little surprised you asked what i think is a pretty obvious reason - if you really don't know, or you're just curious what i have to say**, but anyway, you gave me the opportunity to clarify and reemphasize that if industrial infrastructure is done away with, permaculture and a very balanced, sustainable way of life is encouraged. couldn't one also point to the prevention of environmental harms that would be brought if the industrial infrastrucutre is left out?  i know paul has said something to the effect "rather than spend our time blaming bad guys," which is great, but to better enable the positive ways (like "permaculture"), a serious reduction in the negative ways is needed, and collective working together (like this*) is needed

i am not as all-knowing/intelligent as you implicitly gave me credit for (with the action-oriented research question). *some people know/do this, other people know/do that, together with good energies/spirits, we know/do..

also, maybe this understanding of chronic vs. acute terrorism may be a helpful orientation?

i'm a deep green environmental and sustainable livelihoods advocate

** i think it is the latter as you "liked meeting new people and learning from these interviews"
