“Only two days till the weekend.” “Boring!” “Oh no!” “Excellent!” These are some
common responses to “It’s time to get up for work.”
Have you ever wondered why some people find great satisfaction in their work while
others only put in their time? As with other personal financial decisions, career selection
and professional growth require planning. The average person changes jobs seven times
during a lifetime. Most likely, therefore, you will reevaluate your choice of a job on a
regular basis.
The lifework you select is a key to your financial well-being and personal satisfaction.
You may select a job, an employment position obtained mainly to earn money.
Many people work in one or more jobs during their lives without considering their interests
or opportunities for advancement. Or you may select a career, a commitment to
a profession that requires continued training and offers a clear path for occupational
growth.
