Finding work that matters...

Restless? Look for meaning. That is the rock of ages that you seek. Take a look at what Mark Albion has to say in his book Finding Work That Matters:

"In the wake of September 11th, schools throughout the United States noticed the first wave of an historically unprecedented phenomenon-the overwhelming number of people at every level of society who were suddenly pursuing jobs-such as teaching-that paid significantly less than what they were currently earning. Why?

Current studies suggest that 80% of businesspeople are not happy doing what they're doing, which is nearly a 200% increase in career unhappiness since 1960. So when we don't enjoy what we do, and we spend half our waking hours doing it, why does it take something like the events of September 11th to make us decide that we need to make a radical change?

Certainly, we fear making a wrong decision, or not making enough money, or the possibility of failure. But current research has shown that the biggest fear most of us have is not failure, lack of money, or even death itself-our biggest fear is to live a life without meaning."
