The Meaning of Work 2

Many employees or professionals will say, "I love my job". Yet, many other workers will exclaim, "I hate my job". I've had jobs that I hated, but livelihood and necessity demanded that I keep working in spite of its drudgery. The meaning of work defines the purpose of work. * Unmeaningful work often defies the purpose of work. Then, the question arises; must work be meaningful? We are all aware of, by experience or otherwise, the reality of working on a 'dead-in job'. Most people aspire and long for meaningful work. They prepare, train, and pursue work that not only matches their skill set but also work and careers that value them as humans and reward them accordingly. Many times, the rewards of work exceed 'the happiness factor', often resulting in the need for changes that yield 'meaning work'. Is my work enterprising and audacious or is it simply drudgery? It's not enough to be paid handsomely; work must be fulfilling. 082222PS *Celebrate the Labor Day Holiday
