The bus driver in Chicago gave me career advice and it stuck with me

I was stuck on the 146 bus for 45 minutes due to construction and the driver, a older guy named Frank, started talking about how he used to own a vending machine route before driving. He said the secret to any job is figuring out what problems people hate dealing with and solving those. Has anyone else had a random commute conversation that actually changed how you think about something?

Frank's spot on about that. People will pay good money to avoid dealing with crap they hate, whether it's sorting change for machines or traffic jams. Finding a way to take that off their plate is basically job security right there.

@morgan.mary that's good advice but Frank didn't say anything about vending machine routes.
