How many of us really enjoy our jobs? After all, work is a four letter word. Is it really supposed to be fun? We have to bring the bacon home – or more accurately these days, the low-fat yogurt.
Jean Chatzky offered some great insight in a recent issue of the USAA Magazine. She distinguished three types of work:
- A job that you have to do for money
- A career that adds some incentive for advancement and more money
- A calling that you have to do because you care. Because you passionately care.
If you’re raising a family, you may have to stay focused on a career and let your passion be vented as a volunteer. But if you have already paid – or saved – for most of your big-ticket items, you might need do something with that passion.
What is your work to you?
