Hate your job? Count your blessings.
I came across a short, but interesting post today from a guy named Joe who talks about how people who bellyache about their jobs should remind themselves of the thousands and thousands of people who are unemployed and would trade places with them in a hot second.
The post kind of touched my heart because I currently have quite a few friends who were recently laid off, are looking for jobs, and are having mixed levels of success. I also have quite a few friends who are one paycheck away from losing their homes due to the current mortgage crisis.
I’m not convinced that their is such a thing as an “ideal” job, becuase by definition, having a “job” means answering to a boss and not having complete control over one’s destiny. I also don’t think there is a large population of employees who would choose to work a job, if they didn’t have to. Having said that, if you have to work a job, count your blessings because there is another person out there who would trade places with you in a hot second.

There were 879 advertisements for employment in today’s classified section. There may not always be a job for each person to sustain the lifestyle they desire, but there are jobs to be had. We look for people every day and when they come and find out that they actually have to come to work…and produce work, they leave.
Excuses! Not solutions.
