Upon entering college, I had one objective in mind; to obtain
a Bachelor’s degree in business so that I could get a job that would pay me
well. In retrospect, wanting a good paying job was not a bad objective at all.
However, I soon realized that there was more to performing an effective job
search than just one’s projected income.
According to research
by MSNBC, less than half of all Americans are satisfied with their current jobs. Americans’ dissatisfaction in
their jobs have extended to various types of people across the country, regardless
of factors such as age and income. However, the inclination is strongest among
workers who are less than 25 years old. Could it be because most young workers
are after a similar objective? Could it be because of the money? There may be
many reasons for such a high dissatisfaction rate. However, one thing that is very
important is choosing a career that will not only benefit you financially, but
mentally and emotionally as well.
Discover your passions and the various other elements that make
you happy, and strive to acquire a career for that reason, first. It is true,
money makes the world go around, but happiness is key to a man’s long term success.
