There was a time when the average person did what their father and father’s father did for a career.
They would work in the same job for 40 hours a week for 40 years, no matter how mind-numbingly boring and meaningless it was.
They would go back every day even though they hated it.
And despite being a mismatch for their role, they keep doing a half-baked job for years.
There was a time when too many people did work they hated, work that didn’t matter and work that they weren’t suited for, because they felt they had no choice.
Times have changed!
There’s no excuse for that any more.
You have a choice.
You have the opportunity to do meaningful work, in an area that you’re passionate about and skilled in.
You have the opportunity to change the world through what you do for a living.
Please don’t waste it.

There were some advantages to the old system. For one thing you never had to worry about where you would work! Also, there was generally a pension plan in the mills. Like it or not, that America is gone. I read an article last week that the average Millenial stays at a job about 24 months, then moves on to the “next best thing!”

Thanks Gerry, yes, those days are gone. You may have never worried about where you would work, but you did have to worry if your work mattered.
