1. Do you know anyone who hates their job? Why do you think they continue to do it?
-Yes, I know of a few people who hate their job. They continue to do it, either because it pays good, or its close to home.
2. What strategies do you have in getting a job?
-You have to ask yourself is it going to make you happy, or are you going to be miserable. You have to make sure it is enough to get you by, even if its not GREAT pay.
3. If you are going to further your education, how do you think that will benefit your education?
-It will a lot, because going to college can help you see what its going to be like before you get there and give you a way to find a good job.
4. How will you value income when it compares to satisfaction with a job?
-Well, I want a good income, enough to support a family, but if I can get by with little and be happy, that would be fine with me.
5. Would you do something you did not like in order to make five to ten time more than the average worker?
-Yes, because I would want to have money, even though that shouldn’t be a priority.
1. Sheila is a nurse, and she in not happy with her situation even though her income is above average. She wants to go back to school to get a degree to teach, but she realizes it will cost money to go to school. Her income as a teacher will be about half of what she is used to making. She is torn between being unhappy in a good paying job or making a sacrifice when it comes to income to be happy. What should she do?
-I think if teaching makes her happy and can still support her, then she should do that. It would make her a lot happier.
2. Ryan loves his work but is making only enough for him and his wife to get by. They have no savings set aside and they have $5,000 in credit card debt. His income is only $27,000 per year, but now he has been offered a position making $65,000 per year. He is considered taking the job even though he knows he will eventually hate what he is doing. He figures he needs to make as much as possible for his family, as his wife is expecting their first child. What advice would you give Ryan?
-I would tell him that if the job he is at makes him very happy and again, supports them, then stay there. It’s not like you are dying because of money issues. Stay with what makes you happy.
