Eternal Joy - Volume 3: Making a Living, Building a Life (sichos-in-english.org)
"According To The Advice Of Friends"
... Regarding matters of earning a living - [it should be] according to the advice of discerning friends. This is in keeping with the verse,[31] "Salvation lies in much counsel"; which is to say, that the individuals offering advice are to be wise and discerning so that they are capable of providing counsel. And "much counsel" means that there be at least two [individuals providing advice], as the minimum of "much" is at least two.
Moreover, they are to be "friends" - individuals who seek your welfare, for which reason they will give your situation proper consideration and offer you sound advice.
In reply to your question regarding the various job suggestions about which you write:
I have already told you in the past that you should act according to the advice of discerning friends.
Make G-D Your Partner
The Rebbe once told an individual who started a new business:
Maybe you'll take G-d in as your partner by promising Him ten percent of the profits, [i.e., distributing ten percent of the profits to tzedakah]. Take Him in as your partner, and G-d will bless you.
