Does it matter what job you get? How long you stay in the job? Stay within the same career?
Many ask these questions, as they enter the workforce for the first time, or as they leave school and choose their Uni courses.
From one perspective, it doesn't really matter. So long that you are contributing society. So long that you feel happy and satisfied. So long as you have enough to pay your bills.
From another perspective, it does matter. Some dread going to work, and this is not a happy feeling.
Amy Sherman says it does matter. Some jobs are immoral. Others may not be aligned with your personal goals in life, and consequently feel like a waste of your life, even though you might be earning your living.
Amy reckons that ideally, you find a job that fit the gifts you have, where the goals fit where you think God is taking you.
Do you think so? Is it hard to find such a job? Do such things come out in job interviews? Or is the job market so desperate that one needs to take the opportunities that come up even if they do not exactly align?
Amy also recommends that we are aware of our seasons in life. Some jobs that may be okay when we are younger may not be when we are older.
Do you think this is good advice? How satisfied are you with your job?
