I couldn't agree with this article even more... I worked a sales job, creative staffing, in the financial district of Boston for almost 5 months. It was the most miserable 5 months. I was always tired. I put on about 30 pounds from all the eating out for lunch and pounding beers at Biddys bar across the street every night after work. Plus, I was unhappy.
Now I can say I'm happier than ever, and it's because I do jobs I love. I technically have 3 jobs, but they are broken up in a great work-life balance, and I love to do all of them. I'm a firm believe that you have to be happy at what you do, or you will never be happy.
Great read!
Thank you! Yes I'm certainly not trying to say that jobs are inherently bad - although they're only one among countless ways of generating income - but they HAVE to be something that's valuable and meaningful to you.
