I think being happy in your job is extremely important. Say the average person works eight hours a day, that's approximately half of your waking hours at your job. It would be terrible to spend half of your time at an unhappy setting. I think I want to be a dentist. This would be a good career for me because it would make me very happy. It would make me happy because I would earn a lot of money. It would also make me happy because the hours would be relatively flexible. I wouldn't have to take call like some doctors. I would hopefully be able to choose vacation times. I wouldn't mind being a pilot either. I'm excited to have my own career.
Leah, I agree. Why would you spend half your time doing something that makes you unhappy? I think way too many people are in that situation too. I'm glad you have a good idea of what job will please you. Maybe you can combine the dentist and piloting professions-- you could clean teeth on planes?
