Lately, I've been getting bored with my job, so I'm thinking of looking for a new one but I'm not sure if what's that next job. I posted this to see what my co-cancers do. Thanks for the feedback.

Anything where we're helping and/or taking care of people is right up our alley: counseling, nursing, teaching, physical or massage therapy, etc. We're so nurturing that we take right to these careers with great ease.
Many of us are naturals in the kitchen as well, so cooking is also a good option.
I worked in Early Childhood Education for 11 years, then became a Massage Therapist. There were plenty of our fellow crabs at massage school.

Definitely helping others. People or animals. I've been the industry for over 15 years.
I want to start helping animals now people get on my nerves at time. Nonetheless, I stay because it makes me happy to help someone. I complain about it for a little while and get right up the next morning and do it all over again.
What industry are you in now?

fighting sports/ geting all that deep inside invisible anger out/ tyson/mcgregor/klitschko/john jones. Also helping , something not selfish, but my sagittarius moon helps me with selfish job,and cancers gets with selfess for helping others, so i get 2in 1 i get to do what rly improves me all way around and i get to help others, thats what i think might be the best, to do what you love and at the same time help others, might not be straight forward, but something like inspiration or motivation for others, also helping some people from time to time, makes me happy , i have bigger plans for helping others but they are deep hiden until i can make them happen they will remain like that, but i'm making this world a better place little by little ! 🙂

Assuming our lovely masochistic crabs haven't grown cynical of the world: Teachers, nurses, care givers, culinarians, and the like are great choices. All of those career choices are high stress and low appreciation, which is perfect for crabs.

For the bitter and cynical crab, I recommend writing, private investigator, massage therapy, and personal training. All of which allow the crab to release some serious steam while keeping those in proximity relatively safe.

I take back what I said about Camp 2 Cancers being placed in work as public executioners.

I did a decent amount of research, and some of history's most notorious executioners were Libras and Capricorns. Head chopping mo-fo's got something to prove!

Additional searching revealed only one instance where a Crab was killing convicted criminals for the government, but it was about 1 out of 30 or so files that I read.

So yes, Camp 2 Cancers, what do you typically do for work?

I love the freedom of being my own boss. Professionally, I earn a living writing in multiple languages. The sedentary nature of my job makes me ache for physical movement. So I take breaks, long and short, where I like to sweat it out by training hard, climbing a couple of mountains and enjoying the great outdoors with overwhelming freedom and few human beings around.

I would suggest also thinking about your Moon and Rising signs.
I would say my work fulfills the yearnings of my Sun + Moon + Rising signs.

if i could be anything at this time i would be a wildlife photographer.

sun, moon and rising all love nature and rising and moon loves to roam the outdoors. preferably in a hot country like africa, northern argentina or brazil (not in the city).

however, i'll do a counselling course soon anyway so i will be helping people.
