Now I know that everyone has pondered this at some point in their life ... the "what the hell is this all for and why do I have to work for it." I myself have been wondering that same thing as I prepare for my finals. To tell you the honest truth there is not one (attainable) job out there that I could see my self being happy with for the next 40 years of my life. That is essentially what I am 'investing' in when I go to school, right? Build a knowledge base enter the rat race and coast until I hit the big six five. And I just don't know. I can remember as early as grade school thinking that I am preparing myself for a good job, a good home, and a happy life. But now as I near "the rest of my life" I couldn't tell you what a good job would be for me. I look at all the professions and I am immediately attracted to the ones with a decent salery. That isn't really the way to choose something that you are going to be doing for the rest of your productive life.
I can tell you however that I am really getting sick of these McJobs that I am currently dragging myself to every day. Why do I do it then ... money, flat out. I do it because I need some source of income to pay for all the useless shit that I surround myself with. Each little pieces of happiness and a symbol of a certain number of hours I have worked to earn them. So my search for a better job (and more money) allows me to buy more happiness and well-being. I will complete my schooling ... with the least amount of effort required ... simply because I don't know what I want and I don't feel the need to work my ass off for something that doesn't really interest me. So that is my quest ... to find something that I really like doing and work for it. Damn I hope I find it soon. |
