6. Fair enough

Hey, sorry that phrase 'fair enough' is kind of overused, just couldn't think of anything better. Since I wrote that over a year ago I actually got a job working on an ERP systems programming, sorta like accounting! Sorry we disagree, it's just that I'm sort of an idealist.

If there is something wrong with the world, I like to point it out, whereas other just think it's the way things are and that people like me are out of touch with reality. I think that if nobody says anything, it's certain things will never change.

Why can't people like their jobs? Even a gynecologist? I guess maybe it's a personality trait, because I feel I'd enjoy most any job. I just picked a professional career that I particularly enjoy, but I'd also enjoy carpentry, landscaping, whatever. I guess people should be allowed to not like their jobs too. I guess it's just a matter of opinion. But I can't stand the idea that anyone would spend half their lives doing something they don't enjoy. It doesn't make sense to me.
