Designing The Career You Want
Saturday, April 5th, 2008I don’t understand how people get so attached to their careers even if they hate it. Maybe it’s a product of social conditioning. This lady I know believes that making money is the only thing that matters in a career. Well no, if the career sucks, it sucks. How can anyone stay in a job they don’t like for 10 or 15 years? This lady has done that and she hates it. I don’t get it. Is this a mental disorder?
Turn your hobby into your career
Her obsession with movies and dolls is insane. I think she’s a really god example of using escapism to get away from a career she’s apathetic about. It’s no big deal to watch a movie every weekend or something, but she’ll stay there all night, and she’s loaded with dolls, not like a shelf but the whole room. It’s crazy! It would make more sense to have them if she was a doll manufacturer, but it makes no sense when it serves no part of her life’s purpose. If you have an obsessive hobby, why don’t you make it into your career? It seems perfectly logical.
Long before this website, I used to listen to music all day and write songs, and then I started producing them with computer software and posting them online. Then record labels started contacting me to sign my tracks. Artists were also calling me to produce their music. I later decided I didn’t like that career, so I started this site. There’s always a way to turn your hobby into a career, and with the internet, it’s a whole lot easier now.
