I heard a young female radio announcer make this statement. I was perplexed. She apparently didn't think her premise out. If she had, maybe, she wouldn't have made that proclamation over the airwaves.
What you do for a living doesn't tell me your favorite color, your favorite TV show, if you were the star athlete in high school, how you live, your dreams, or anything about your personality. It does tell me that you have certain skills sets and you know how to get along with people. It also tells me (based on your length of service) that you were not only able to get the job, but keep it as well.
What did you want to be when you grew up? Are you living that dream? Your current job doesn't tell me that either. It also doesn't tell me if you pay your bills on time, if you are anal, or if you are a neat freak.
Some people take jobs to keep food on the table. Others take jobs to use as a stepping stone for the next job. While a few of us work jobs for most of our lives that we absolutely hate. I consider myself luck because I am doing what I love. I'm in the minority on this one. We spend so much time at our jobs; it would make sense that we do something we love.
Unfortunately, everyone is not so lucky. Today's economy proves that. Everyone is hurting. The recession saw hundreds of thousands of job get eliminated. Many of us are lucky to have jobs and to keep doing what we are doing.
