Do you love your job or are you doing it for the money? Some people really enjoy their jobs whether they are well paid or not, yet others are miserable but continue to stay in their career because leaving would result in less income. One gets accustomed to the things a substantial salary can afford, so even though "burned out" or mistreated by their employer they remain. I'm sure that is just one of many reasons people stay put and take no action in changing their circumstances. Which brings me to my question for today, how do you feel about your job situation...happy or not and why? If you are now retired, were you happy in the career direction you took, or do you regret not seeking another job field? *** A SECOND QUESTION: Can you also think of any other reasons why a person remains with the same employer their entire career? Maybe these reasons might have pertained to you. Anyway, for me I did not pursue a career in teaching for the money obviously. Back when I was employed teachers were not paid well at all, so it was a love of the profession not income that influenced my choice. I don't regret the decision as I had many exciting and rewarding experiences working with children. So, how about you? Care to share your experiences...
