A person can decide that a McJob will be their career, if they are happy doing that.
Anyway....most of the people who post here to cut down other peoples' salaries and job titles, don't make much money themselves and are just one paycheck away from losing it all.
Keep up with the times and technologies or look for another career path. Aren't you glad you're typing posts on an online forum rather than writing on stone tablets with hammer and chisel?
pointless remark. If it didnt exist,you wouldnt want/need/know it.
I do agree with OP that we are very career driven as society & our standard keeps increasing. Not to say back in the days people didn't have high standards & people didn't strive for best. They did & I am sure they worked their ***** off for what they had, which might seem average to us now but it was excellence then. But very few of us are happy just living a basic life.
This thread reminds me of a conversation I had with my sister when she started college. My brother and I were trying to advise her on which major to choose & I kept saying "find something you are good at & comes easy to you, so you can thrive". We had lot of discussion about success and excellence and career..etc until she (a 18 year old soft spoken girl) said "what if I just want to be average? what if that is all I want? what's so wrong with that'. It stopped us mid-track & I had nothing to respond to her. I realize I was projecting my ambition on to her but there is a beauty in being simple & being average. There is peace and serenity that we lose when we chase
the industrial revolution made us labor slaves and we put importance on needing to go to 'jobs'.
people who dont want that arent lazy,they are actually the smarter ones with the most common sense.
whether you are a believer in God or not...it was a human idea that 5 days on,2 days off for the rest of your life was supposed to be a good idea? LOL
college degrees dont give you wisdom. A larger paycheck doesnt make you better man.
either way,women get to play stupid and do nothing while we have to pay for their lives ( just thought I'd add that lol) culture is so stupid
[*]Talk of "Average is over" or "No tolerance for C performers." In other words, there is no longer room for Dilbert-type people in the corporate world. The pudgy guy who works in a cubicle and does an average amount of work can no longer survive. [*]You're supposed to "enjoy what you do for a living" or "live to work". There is no point in debunking this idea since it's complete nonsense. My ideal job would be a professional tennis player, but if I actually decided to pursue that career then I would make $0/year since no one would sponsor me and I couldn't any tournament prize money.[*]Needing to "keep your skills up-to-date." I imagine that if you were a union worker in an auto plant in the 1950s or a blacksmith in the year 500 A.D., you didn't have to spend your free time outside of work learning more skills to stay competitive enough to be employed. What's worse is that today "staying competitive" often means paying for overpriced degrees or certifications. [/list]
- there are plenty of average people at work and they don't get fired
- nobody loves their job. That's a high school slogan with no merit imo. That said, you shouldn't hate going in to work every day
- my job has training on the job. once you understand the job, there are only minor changes

this is definitely true for my work
But I work with printers desktop and laptops and the procedure and problems are the same
Little change
Sometimes we learn something new but resetting passwords is the same
People are complaining in this forum about taking a job offer then clearly complaining they don't like it.
No one is forcing nobody to take a job
These things are discussed in the interview You know what you clearly signed up for .
Some people have to take the job because they have bills to pay and they have to eat. They don't want to end up homeless.
ok, it started earlier,same thing. the point is jobs were never for our benefit
Proving rocky's point once again.
