A BIGJob is a job that brings money into an area (town, state, country). The name stands for Basic Income Generating Job

A person doing a BIGJob grows, digs, makes, or does something that can be sold to people outside the local area. That money can be used to buy things that people cannot (or do not want to) grow, dig, or make for themselves in your community. Maybe it’s too cold, or you don’t have the tools, or you don’t know how, or you are too old, or....

Clear? Let’s see. I’ll name some jobs, and you tell me if each one is a BIGJob or not. college professor baseball player furniture maker powerplant operator restaurant owner professional artist park clearner Q. How many of these are BIGJobs? A. All of them

OK I’ll name some more jobs, and you tell me if each one is a BIGJob or not. college professor baseball player furniture maker powerplant operator restaurant owner professional artist park clearner Q. How many of these are BIGJobs? A. None of them

OK I’ll name some more jobs, and you tell me if each one is a BIGJob or not. college professor baseball player furniture maker powerplant operator restaurant owner professional artist park clearner Q. How many of these are BIGJobs? A. None of them Wait a Minute! How can this be?

Let’s go over the list again. This time, let’s see how a job can be a BIGJob and also not a BIGJob college professor YES students come to Boston from all over the world to study with professors at Harvard University NO students come mainly from the local area to study with professors at a community college

NO if you cut the grass in your town golf course.

BIG POINT What makes a job into a BIGJob is not necessarily the job itself, but where the money comes from to pay the worker. If someone grows, digs, makes, or does something that can be sold to people outside the local area, that is a BIGJob.

So why is this important? Because every place needs at least one BIGJob to get the money people need to buy the things they can’t grow, dig, or make for themselves.

Here’s a strange fact: in a typical place, only a tiny fraction of the people actually do the BIGJobs. Everyone else does what we might call OtherJobs. These are the jobs that do things for other people within the local area. What are some OtherJobs? Store clerk, cable installer, firefighter, teacher, trash collector, mayor, building inspector, car repairer, nurse,...

This is why it is important: If the BIGJobs in a place are not successful, all the people doing OtherJobs will have a hard time making a living, because no one is bringing money into the local community.

This has happened in many places. Politicians often say they know what to do to solve this problem. But if people do not understand about BIGJobs, these problems are hard to solve!

Think about it.
