The most common reason you find people unable to do anything because they have to work. Understandable. But then you start hearing them complain about going to work and what they do at work. They complain about the hours and who they work with. They just have a job to make money in something that means nothing to them.
Although I fit under the category of making money in a minimum wage job, I don't consider what I am doing a job or work. I don't have a job, I have a passion that pays. I currently am working within something I am planning to do for the rest of my life.
Yes, I first applied for the job just looking for patient care hours for grad school, but I have truly found my passion. The work involves things I will be doing in my future and teaching me life lessons along the way. I also have found friends and mentors. I have made what feels like family members with the patients. They make me smile, have taught me and helped me more then I can for them. I tell people what I do to make money and they all say I should be paid more for what I do. But honestly, I could get paid nothing and still do this everyday. Because I didn't just find work, I found my passion.
I regret not finding this work earlier. I wish I would of known about this "job" earlier. I wish someone would of told me about this earlier. I wish I would have reached out earlier to find this job instead of just working for the pay. So here is my life lesson for anyone looking for work currently: stop. Stop looking and start asking around. Start looking into things that interest you and your future. There are so many more options out there involving what you will do in the future if you just ask and look around for that. Don't look for the pay or something easy that your friend said is looking for employees, look for the thing you love. You will be happier then your friends, you will pick up hours out of enjoyment, you won't complain ever. Find that something you enjoy, and go for it. Find that passion, not that job.
