RE: Working My Regular Job Am - I earning a living or wasting my life.

in #jobs7 years ago

We, humans, are not meant to be working in the manner that we do. Society dictates that in order to maintain order, you must keep people busy with mundane tasks. "Idle hands do the devil's work". When we are bored, we act out. Think about how you acted in college with all of your extensive free time!

The best balance is to find something where you at least sometimes feel self-achievement, and to find a place where you enjoy working with the people around you. That will make your work-life more manageable and hopefully you're earning a living wage from the experience.

At least that's my $0.02 (which is currently powered down to $0.01, sorry).

Cheers!

Wise words!

Thank you :) I get lucky sometimes!

Thank you! I agree I'm working in the "system" and enjoying the interactions with people is so important and that is so often overlooked.

The people aspect is the most important, in my opinion. We are a social species and need meaningful interpersonal relationships to thrive!
