Fixing America

[Sundae]

Actually, I can't think of anything worse for an economy than to have everyone trying to work in a job they love. Some people don't like to work full stop (period to you). They do so because they need money to live. Others resent the time away from children, whatever the job. Others simply don't have the aptitude for their dream job, perhaps because they're not naturally risk takers and their ideal job is mostly a freelance market. Or because the thing they would be really good at demands a time or financial commitment their personal circumstances simply don't allow.

There's a lot to be said for the perseverers in society. Those that get their heads down at get on with it. The street sweepers, dustbinmen, canteen workers, call centre operators, porters. Okay, some of these people will enjoy, possibly even love their jobs. But not the majority.

I say work to the best of your ability and as honestly as you can. That would be a nice change.

That is cool one must work within his own restrictions. As Americans, though, we have a view of ourselves as innovators and creators. When we decide to just plug along human progress suffers as we suffer.
