Career Path
Every morning I wake up turn on my TV while having my morning tea to watch news. I always come across different commercial of private colleges and universities about choosing the right career path. I wonder how you choose your career path. I look back in my life and I realized it took me 25 years to find out what I want to do for the rest of my life. That is ¼ of my life; I still have to do the same work for another ¾ of my life. How would I know if I made the right choice? Is it based on how much money I am making right now or how much I will make in future or is the job which I am doing and enjoying? To me the job satisfaction plays more vital role than money. I came across lot of people who consider money is important than anything, but I strongly believe after certain period of time he/she will get tired of the work because they are not satisfied with what he/she is doing.
There are million ways of earning quick cash if you are too desperate for money. A smart investment, a hobby as side business, part-time job etc. but nobody wants to work more and earn. People are always in search of easy money. I rather get more education and experience in the work I love than taking up a job which just pays more. We are living in the world where ethics doesn’t mean anything anymore. It is all about money. In today’s world it is considered achievement if you can afford all possible luxuries, expensive phone, purse, brand name dress, luxurious car and many more. Why are we lost in comparison, status, and society? Can money buy job satisfaction? I don’t think so. But a satisfied job can sure get the money you deserve and possibly all the luxuries. It sound so easy but no one want to take that into consideration. I came across one person at my work who is with the company for last 20 years. He enjoyed every second of his life working at this place and is totally satisfied. He started with internship and today he has vice-president status besides his name.
All I want to express here is no matter what field or job you have job satisfaction is very important. Love your job it doesn’t matter where you work. If you love your job then you will work hard and smart. Believe in yourself, do your work honestly and success will be find you. I would really appreciate your thoughts on this matter, thanks for reading.
