There's No Such Thing as a Perfect Job

I wonder if people are ever 100% satisfied and content with their job. Is there really a perfect job? Obviously I’m still in school, but I’m already having second thought about what major or career path I should take. It’s scary to think that I will be stuck with a career that I won’t enjoy. A friend of mine constantly promised me that whatever the career path a job is not meant to be enjoyable. After repetition of doing the same thing over and over again, it will just become a routine. I have to admit that his thought reflect his personality: very pessimistic. So it got me to think. Could it work the other way around. With the same idea that no matter what your job is, at the end it will become part of your life routine. I could say, being a little more optimistic about life, that whatever career we choose we could adapt to it and learn to make the best of it. “Getting this job offer is exciting, and I feel proud of myself. But this is just another step along the way. I know I won’t stop trying.” In his blog Matetells us a few anecdotes about how trying new things and hard work has paid off in his career and in his life. This is what I’m talking about. Even if a job is not exactly what you want, you will feel good in it if you set yourself a goal and reach it instead of reminding yourself about that sucky position.
