RE: How Important is it to Find "Meaning" in Your Work?
While I do like the work I am doing, I work to life and do not life to work.
Have been thinking many time of becoming a freelancers but never took the jump. I am just not enough entrepreneur for this! I do choose the financial stability for the household above more freedom, knowing that in these days no job is forever!
Some of my friends joke that I seem to be willing to "work extremely hard so I don't have to have a real job." I do understand the underlying meaning there... I'd rather entrepreneur my way to something than have to go sit in a cube farm at a soul-sucking company somewhere. Mind you, my corporate experiences were all pretty negative.
I really cannot complain. Probably could have earn a lot more money as a freelaner but I guess I do like the safety net of a big company. Really would like to become some kind of tech advisor/ consultant. Really have to start my RPA course!
I do guess that the biggest example of being part of a cube farm is that when I do stop my working day, my working day is over! I have been working for the same client more than 11 years now. So I do have some freedom, guess I earned this!
