the value of finding greater meaning in one's work

[Frederick Foresight]

i know dozens of people who forwent a career on wall street to become a doctor.

And there's nothing that says you can't get paid and have meaning in your work.

I agree with you. Just found the strip interesting and a bit thought-provoking. It would possibly give the typical cube worker some pause.

Trolling now gives meaning to one's life? How far has civilization has fallen? When ET trolls are even valued, we have too many kooks in society. That is why the US has so many shooters, most of them crazy kooks allowed too much freedom instead, of being locked up in psychiatric hospitals.

I couldn’t agree more with you!

How do you define and measure "meaningful work"? Everybody pays taxes and everybody contributes to society. There's a thin line between irrationality, herd mentality, bullshit and communism. Having meaningful work is a typical marxist agenda - public employees ARE meaningful as they help society, private employees are selfish and NOT meaningful (that is why we will nationalise their property and all means of production).

In technical jobs there's a way to achieve a greater meaning for you work, when you can solve a problem that no one is able to in your team.

You just don't have to tell anyone the internet forum where you found the solution to solve it.

I would define it different from the gov of KY, who[virus related ] shut down the hair salons, gyms, churches.........
''Exempt are the essential businesses'' the current KY gov said.
As if the people who run those + support a family are not essential?? The churches won a court judgement against him for that nonsense

Small accomplishments will help you find greater meaning in your work.

When you know what and why you are doing certain things only then you can choose the right path towards fulfillment of those particular tasks.

When you know what and why you are doing certain things only then you can choose the right path towards fulfillment of those particular tasks.

All this means nothing if the boss does not give you a raise for your hard work advancing humanity.

End of line.

Creating clarity and demonstrating action in response to that set of needs assists all of us in connecting to the meaning in our work.
