How many times have I said “this is what I wanna do with my life?” Too many to count. Hey I had a good run as a pizza driver. Then as a wedding DJ, and a professional journalist. In my lifetime I have had over 100 jobs starting at age 12. One thing I have learned is this, I don’t really have any one thing I wanna do with my life. I wanna experience it all. I wanna keep trying new jobs not until I find the perfect fit but until I have satisfied my curiosity.
When I was 8 years old all I wanted to do was grow up and become a Paleontologist. Nothing was going to sway me from this. Until I was 11 and wanted to be an electrician. Then it was radio DJ. The list goes on. The point is I never settled on the one thing I always wanted to do. I don’t have a dream job, I have multiple dream jobs of which gratefully I have had many.
I learned there is no such thing as the perfect job. You have to find the good in everything you do. It’s how we cope with our miserable lives. They say if you love your job you’ll never work a day in your life. That’s rubbish. Even dream jobs are hard work. Right now the job I have is the right job for me. When this job expires the next job I dig up will be the right job for me. This will continue either until I retire or I die. For now I am content. Really that is all anyone can truly ask for.
