Do you love your job? Would it give you no greater pleasure than to show up to work everyday and perform your job for free, if you could? How much do you need to make in order to provide for yourself and your dependents? If you had that money in the bank what would you spend your time doing? If the answer is something far from what you are currently doing, you're in the wrong business.
I love my job. I work with some pretty awesome and very talented people, and we are working to change people's lives. It's amazing!! It probably doesn't hurt that my career builds upon my media arts degree and is an environment that inspires creativity and growth.
The reason for this post is to tell you that it doesn't have to be this way. I know. I was once working for a small bay area marketing firm and making GREAT money but working crazy hours and absolutely miserable. It got to the point where I wondered if I could ever be happy with my career again. If you find yourself in this boat, please please please make the decision to make a major change today. Go back to school, take some classes, switch career fields - whatever it takes. You'll be so much happier if you are doing what you were created to do.
This is a perfect time to make a change. With the economy the way that it is, many professionals are taking the opportunity to make a change and do something that is more suited to them. Even if this means a reduction in salary - switch out some salary for quality of life if you can swing it. You'll be glad you did! See also ThisBookisGreat.com
