The key might be to find a job you love to do and a place you like to go to do that job and one that you can make a decent living at to support you and your family

Unfortuantly not many jobs or companies exist to fit that bill.

Most workers do not want to work any longer than they have because of the stress and anger towards these companies, which probably cuts their life shorter.

Sad!

iwish, i have found a community of people (handcrafters at festivals) that really love what they are doing. they work their butts off, and some of them make really good money too. not all do, because it takes a certain person to be good sales person at festivals. I often hang with the best sales people to try to pick up their techniques. Good sales techniques are much more profitable than good craftsmanship in terms of making buck, and the good sales people are enjoying it, you can always tell...

That's great, it always sounds like you love your work when you talk about it.

There are people that love what they do and work at places they like to be.

The problem is it's to far between these days.

It use to be a lot more common, that's the sad reality.

You really think Obama has a passion to help seniors with these problems? Says one thing, but....

It isn't so much that liberals are ignorant. It's just that they know so many things that aren't so.
