Oh you hate your job?

"Oh you hate your job? Why didn't you say so? There's a support group for that. It's called EVERYBODY, and they meet at the bar." – Drew Carey

I sincerely hope that everybody does not hate their job. I spend hours a day looking and looking and doing even MORE looking to find the job of my dreams or at least the entry level step to a future career, not just a job.

It is hard to imagine going through life hating what you do 40 + hours a week. That is 2080 hours a year that you despise what you are doing. Older generations wanted to be doctors, lawyers, teachers and business executives. But Millennials are one of the first generations to major in what we were passionate about, with the hopes of being the next great journalist, a distinct fashion designer or creating the next non-profit to truly make a difference. What stinks is many Millennials out there are working jobs that don’t fit their major because when the economy changed those dreamy jobs were the first to go.

But what I can provide you today is a bit of bright news…. The Wall Street Journal reported Monday that, “Rates of entrepreneurship among people ages 55 and 64 have generally been trending up since 2007, whereas rates for that younger group have stayed relatively flat.” As our parents and maybe even our grandparents are finally getting to the point where they are truly passionate about (and own) what they are doing, they may be able to someday produce a position where we can put our enthusiasm to work.
