Job = Money

Seems like I've been working for a decade now, but its hardly been two years since I first step into the big bad corporate world. I was myself bit by the creative/offbeat career bug when I started off. Well call it ignorance or immaturity, but I thought I was too smart to be doing a boring mechanised job inspite of being decently compensated. I wanted excitement, freshness and some kind of spontaniety in a job!

Whaaat?! Who's ever heard of a job being exciting !!!

Well, as a fresher I didn't know that! So I went hopping from one job to the other looking for the 'perfect one' ..... And Eureka!

I realised there is no such thing as an exciting job. After the first two months, the fancy wears off, any and every job seems mechanised and you feel reduced to a cog in the wheel. Ultimately what keeps you tied to the job is the money. Its a constant inflow of money, and no human (at least the ones I know) is strong enough to renounce wordly desires and tear his six-figure paycheque and toss them into the bin.

So, my young friends, as much as you feel like following your dreams and taking up a offbeat career that fulfills your creative instincts, giving an outlet to your over-secreting creative juices, remember me and my words.

A job is a lot like love. New love/first love/first job/new job is always exciting. However, after few months it becomes a routine, in a few years you feel stagnated and claustrophobic and are dying to get out of it. When you are going to feel pathetic and horrible any which way, might as well get a fat paycheque out of it, which you can use for some retail therapy !
