Why is Everyone So Obsessed with Having a Career?

[cman1787]

can someone enlighten me on whats so enticing about a "career", besides money?

[injured44]

financial security ??

[Murderous Muz]

doign something worthwhile with your time

[hqk]

Stability

[xMalicex]

All of the above

[captainhorseboy]

theres nothing cool about it except not being homeless

[blancmange]

more money = easier life and you can experience more of the world.. If you have enough you can also kill homeless bums for sport

[ilikebeer]

nothing, unless you like being another companies bitch.

doign something worthwhile with your time

i don't see how sitting behind a desk is worthwhile though

[DeterminedToWin]

Stable money flow

[sfvalley]

Nothing.
Edit: Besides good pay.

[DeterminedToWin]

i don't see how sitting behind a desk is worthwhile though

Yes....every career involves sitting behind a desk. Dumbass.

don't most people get 2 weeks of vacation a year?? how the hell are you going to experience the world 2 weeks a year?

[captainhorseboy]

[lynchbuffet]

if you don't have a 'career' what would you do with your time with no income?

[DeterminedToWin]

i was just generalizing. u mad?

Nah, but i'm going to have a career with stable good cash flow...u mad?

[Un0RiGiNaL]

nothing, unless you like being another companies bitch.

this is why you become better. you make your own company and instead of being a bitch you have bitches..

your obviously not going anywhere in life

same here

I work hard now so I can retire early

[DirtyDon123]

If you are not a doctor, athlete, musician, fireman , policeman, in the military , actor , artist, architect. Then you have no career you just work for some company not really doing anything worthwhile for 40 years to get a pension. Hope i didnt miss one out

[cman1787]

if you don't have a 'career' what would you do with your time with no income?

no hobbies huh?

Nah, but i'm going to have a career with stable good cash flow...u mad?

no, why would i be mad?

[Trapstar4.4]

like many have said.. financial security, which is key when talking about having a roof over your head

its kind of a big deal

[sparkzz]

because im rather partial to shelter and food

[E_N_D_L_E_S_S]

I want a career I'm interested in, 99% of the misc chasing something a job they want purely based on salary which puts them working 100+ hours a week. My friend's dad is a mining engineer and works easily 12+ hours a day while at home and 16+ while out of the country for business.. sure the money is good but not a whole lot of time to live outside of working.

[pchopper]

hobbies cost money, brah

but ideally you try to find a job doing what you love. I'm a mechanical engineer, always working on automation fixtures and designing new products, half the time behind a desk and the other half doing hands on prototyping in the machine shop. It's something I'd be doing anyway but I'm getting paid

Also, the "free spirit" schtick works when you're younger, but as time goes by it gets more and more pathetic, you need to have some kind of financial stability.

[lynchbuffet]

no, why would i be mad?

how can you have hobbies with no income

a job is just a job where you earn just enough money to survive - not live.
