The age old question growing up was always, "what do you want to be when you grow up?" I remember never really knowing or wanting to commit. It seemed there were about three or four options: fireman, policeman, teacher, pro football player. That "unknown" continued for me as it does for many students as they go to college. As we used to say at orientation, "undecided is our most popular major for freshmen students." Where am I going with all of this? Take a moment and read this article on the current job satisfaction rate.
I know in times of a rough economy, many folks are thankful to just have a steady paycheck. But I think this article is a reminder that as you think about how you want to make a living, take some time to really think through it. It's easy to go for the "top dollar" types of careers...but if you are not happy, is it worth it? Yes, every job will have parts that are not fun or that aren't as enjoyable, but hopefully your current or future job is something that is satisfying for you.
Just some food for thought and a reminder to find joy in whatever you do...it makes stuff a lot better in the long run
