A job should always be more than a job
You are going to spend 40 hours a week at the least at your job. You will probably spend more time there than you will with your family some weeks. You should love it. You should really like the people you work with and the people you work for. Today Seth Godin wrote about that, and for those of you that know me, you know how much this piece resonated with me; especially the line about who you work for: "Work for someone who plays the fads and you'll discover that instead of building a steadily improving brand, you're jumping from one thing to another, enduring layoffs in-between gold rushes."
We forget how important finding a new job is. Especially in an economy like this it's easy to grab the next thing that comes along, but will that really lead to happiness?
