The Truth of Credit

It’s the Tuesday after Labor Day weekend and I know what you are thinking, the absolute last thing you want to do is get up and go to work. Who can blame you, when all you did all weekend was play with your kids, played a round of golf or even read that book you have been itching to get to? However, this morning, it’s back to making sure you have your security pass and what can I do to make myself look busy today. The fact is, having a job you hate “SUCKS”. There is no sugar coating it and no better word that even Shakespeare could use to describe it.

Unfortunately, the fact is that what you are doing for a living is your fault. Sure you can bridge the gap with a variety of different occupations but once you get past the first year you need to really think long and hard about the road you are traveling. There are the rare exceptions, like the military, where you are legally obligated to stay for an extended period of time but I’m troubled to think of any others off-hand. The point is, after a year you should have a good barometer as to if I like this job or it’s just not going to work.

The TRUTH is if your job is so bad, you would have been gone months ago. Something is keeping you there; be it the people, the money or how quick it takes you to get home. You should always think about the positive and be grateful that you even have a job. But it’s important to remember, that as long as you hate going to work you will never be great at it, so what’s the point?

Don’t take it from me, consider the late DJ AM’s words of wisdom:

“My mom always said you want to be happy in life, find something you love to do so much, you’d do it for free, then find somebody to pay you for it.”
