    I am convinced that some people do not think they are supposed to like their jobs. I am also convinced that some people just like to complain. Everywhere I’ve worked, I have almost immediately run into a ‘Captain Bringdown’ — a self-appointed critic of everything about the company and the job who is miserable, tries to make everyone else miserable, yet continues to hang on. Now I am in an odd situation. I have credentials that would, if I pursued it and made the right contacts, allow me to make several times the money I make right now — but I would have to work 10-12 hours per day, and when I weren’t working, I would have to socialize with materialistic people who don’t share my values or interests. Or on the other hand, I could devote myself to my true passions — writing, creative arts, and Christian ministry — but I would have no money and no security. So I continue to do what I am doing now — working in a profession I have been in for several years, which is below the threshold of my credentials but still a challenging, stimulating job. I make all of the money I need and save quite a bit, I have considerable job security and get along great with the people I work with. I don’t have to work endless hours and have time for my hobbies, family, and church activities. Realistically I expect nothing more out of work and am thankful for what I have.
