   Came across this concept of ikigai - a venn diagram of four circles that matter in life: what you love, what you're good at, what the world needs and what's lucrative. The minimalistic me thinks there are at least two redundant circles here. If there's demand for your skill, that should do. Or maybe, just having a skill would suffice, and the rest will follow.

     @tokyo_0 Not sure about nurses, as there are greener pastures elsewhere. I read somewhere that mountaineers get jobs as cleaners for those tall sky scrapers with glass facades. I'm sure those are well paying, due to the specific skills that they demand. Exceptions aside, I feel that developing a skill should take us places / see us through.

     @tokyo_0 Markets can be myopic and 'value' is a very arbitrary measure. Someone who is good at something may not get immediate recognition, but it would happen over time. It's important to be practising and improvising and not give up.
