Few people love their job. Some people hate their job. The majority of people neither love nor hate their job - they just tolerate it. I say, Just Having A Job Should Be Appreciated

It's depressing being an able bodied person who can't get a job. It's especially depressing being good at something, but you can't find a job in your field. It's depressing sending in resumes and getting no response. It's depressing going through the web or newspaper and finding nothing. The most depressing thing of all is sitting home with nothing to do while your spouse is at work. That's why I say, Just Having A Job Should Be Appreciated.

We all want a job we love. However, it's less important to love your job than to have a job. It's more important to take a job for less money than turn one down for that reason. It's more important to take a job with a lesser title or status than to turn one down for that reason.

Sooo, whatever your job is, embrace it. Find something to love about it even if the only thing good is it's close to a great lunch place. Find a way to accept your boss even if he or she is an asshole. Get along with your co-workers. Seek out the ones you can befriend. Accept the product(s) you are involved with unless you know they hurt other people.

Think about, see and have empathy for those who are standing on a corner with their friends trying to find a job of any kind even if it's only for that day. You see, those people believe:
