Mooze, you have the best day job, in my opinion, because you enjoy doing it.
We were at a gathering of hubby's family yesterday. One son has just decided to ditch architecture after 2.5 years (half way through) to change to journalism/law. He was not enjoying architecture and is looking forward to law.
Next son is about to apply for engineering.
Hubby's sister's partner insisted that my sons should look for a job where there is big money. I told him I would rather they find something they love doing, and be happy rather than simply look for a big paying job. I told him that we had discussed this, and I had advised them to NOT chose a career or job for monetary reasons.
He prattled on and on (and on and on)about money until my ears were nearly bleeding, and how well his business has done since he started it in 1988. He told my son to do Business so he could start a company and make a motza. He then said he had not been able to have a holiday since 1988. I said to him "There you go. Right there is a BIG downside for you for chasing the money."
I wanted to slap him really, but kept my cool until hubby whispered in my ear "Get me out of this hell hole" and we escaped .
There are so many people unhappy in their day jobs, that hearing from someone who enjoys theirs is a breath of fresh air.
Hubby's job until recently was enjoyable, but was getting pretty difficult the past few months. He has taken his LSL leave, and has relaxed so much, I may never get him back there .
