An attempt to chart through the ups and downs of my life...

What is a job......?

During my search for that elusive job, I have been getting different opinions as to what a job is. A job can be...in no particular order

1: something that you enjoy doing.

The people that believe in this, are those people that try to make work as part of their lives. If they are going to invest so much time in their lives in their jobs, it better be something that they like to do.

2: something that just puts $$$ on the table

It is true. All jobs theoretically should put $$$ on the table. There are definitely people that have families to take care of and hence a job is more about just doing something so that one can bring in money to support the families. And in the words of my friend, "achieve financial freedom and then you can really go and do what you want to do in life".

3: something that will make a difference in the world

These are probably the people that have ideals and want to help the world. They would make their jobs a medium by which they can achieve their goals and ideals in life.

Who do I belong to???

I was at 3...am tryng to combine 3 and 1...but more and more, I may be forced into 2...

As my other friend would say...

"Very few people get to do what they really want in life. Most people get to do what they have and need to do"
