Importance of finding a job you like

Time is precious, Don't Waste it

After watching the video, I now understand how important it is to find a job you like. I heard many stories saying that they work for money. Indeed, everyone have to earn a living. However, if you are doing a job you hate, at least 50% of you life is meaningless.

Why is it so important?

Do the math. A normal person start to work after graduation, say 22 years old. They keep working until retirement, which is 65. a total of 43 years working. Average lifetime is about 80. It means over 50% of you life is working. Imagine doing a job you hate for 50% of you life, how hard could it be?

The solution

Know yourself. You should know yourself more than anyone do. Know your strength, weakness, personality, hobbies and interest. If you like meeting new people, perhaps marketing or public relations suits you. If you like doing engineering, perhaps you'll do coding or mechanics. Here are some resources that might help, in terms of defining yourself and finding the career that fits.
