So
I've been thinking about this a lot lately. Mostly because now that I'm in my mid thirties I should be thinking about this.... right? I mean my parent's generation, and the generation before them were all about getting a career,.
But seriously...... I don't think that's where this Gen-Xer is going. Should I be?
I have this huge fear of getting into a situation where I get a really good job doing something kind of sophisticated, getting a nice paycheque to go along with it and then end up just hating ... I mean HATING... my job. And as a result, I'm stuck, because I am living a lifestyle that requires that kind of income and can't find something that will pay equivalent because the idea of working for less is too stressful. I don't want to ever be in that position, where I feel I am trapped. What kind of life is that? Is it life? or is it hell?
What do people do in this situation? Can you take a pay cut, maybe a significant pay cut, to be in a place where you actually LIKE your job, or even LOVE it?
