RE: If You Want Jobs, Take Away Their Shovels and Give Them Spoons
I gotta say I agree with this. I was making six-figures in some important-sounding job in San Diego for a decade. One day I was laid off. Kinda out of the blue, there had been previous layoffs but I was always too critical over the years. I was tore up for a minute. Then I took a step back, thought about things. I spent a few months traveling then ended up moving to Sweden. I have a great job now, a kid, a new citizenship, my life ended up much happier and fuller. I don't make as much money as before but somehow I'm happier which is to me more valuable
"In some important-sounding job" haha
That's great that you found yourself a more fulfilling life.
Hi, @seanmeeh42, and thanks for "weighing in" on this interesting topic.
My cousin moved to Sweden when he was in his teens, married there and has lived there all his life... And yes, happiness in your life and work is far more valuable than lots of $$$! ;)
