Getting More Than Money From Your Job
Job satisfaction should never be overlooked
Job satisfaction should never be overlooked. It makes so much difference when you are working in a rewarding career. So many people go out to work each day and get nothing back in return (except, obviously, their wage packet!).
This may be bearable for a while, but after a certain time it really can become a bore. If you are the sort of person who tries to do your job as well as possible, then it can be a little disheartening if you never get anything in return; it is all to do with being appreciated.
The best solution to this type of situation is to completely change your career. There are plenty of jobs out there that will give you a genuine glow of pride for a job well done. And this will make your working life a whole lot more enjoyable! There is a big difference between just another anonymous day spent on a production line to helping someone to make a constructive change in their life.
So what type of work can offer you this satisfaction buzz? Well, there are the obvious ones... if you become a fire-fighter and spend your time rescuing people from burning buildings it is going to make you feel pretty good about yourself. Or if you help drug addicts to kick their habit it is certainly going to have a positive effect on you. But your new choice of career doesnt have to be anything quite as dramatic as that.
Imagine if you worked in a council office and it was your job to house homeless people. That would be a very rewarding task. You could go home at night knowing that one less person was having to sleep in a shop doorway, largely because of your input. Of course,
housing jobs dont only deal with the homeless, but there are plenty of different people to deal with and some of them will be in a pretty desperate situation.
If that doesnt appeal to you then how about something involving a more hands-on type of work? What about taking a few courses in joinery? It would certainly be rewarding to know that you had done a good job of fitting someones new windows or front door. There are plenty of joiners out there, but not all of them take pride in what they do; you could build up a reputation as someone who always did a job properly.
There are plenty of areas to choose from that can offer workers a huge amount of job satisfaction and that are not all as obvious as you would think; joinery or
housing jobs are just a couple of examples. Counselling, cake decorating, engineering, plumbing or graphic design; these and many other careers can give you a real sense of achievement and self-worth.
We spend a large part of our lives working and we should always make sure that we get a little something back from it! If you shudder at the thought of your job then something is very wrong. Maybe it is time to think about a change of direction...
