A bit of Earning and Eating I want a new Job – but why?

I have been working for 9 years now and I have changed my jobs thrice. Why? Because the first one had everything, but somehow after watching Bollywood movies I wanted to try something different. You see, Bollywood movies inspire a lot! Well after my inspirations failed and reality hit me hard. I joined another company, left that one and joined another after two years – But I guess it’s time to leave this one too!

After rigorous searching and trying all the possible means of source to search for a job – I failed.

The truth is I didn’t fail to search for a job – I didn’t know what to search for. Everything is the same. Any company I go to is not going to please me. It might please me more than the previous one– but down the lane, after 6 months or a year, I will realize or be forced to know that this job is not worth my skills (Skills that I don’t even know I have- or I must have developed in that 6 months) to work in that – either it pays me less or my boss is not right or everything is good but I want more. The fact is we are never ever satisfied with what we have – it’s because we don’t know what we want. We are neither enjoying eating nor earning, because we are either eating less or earning less.

Every day I pass by seeing men at construction working under the boiling sun – I think about how we refuse to walk in heat from home to metro or anywhere for a minute. These people are working – I am sure the company doesn’t give them enough benefits or facilities – I mean, after this, the least they can be offered is a spa, right?  Because that is what we demand even after working under the Ac and well equipped offices.

All I can say is that first we should know what we want and what we are best at- may be certain ventures are not that good - but at least if we are doing what we like we can enjoy both a bit earning and a bit of eating.  Cause baby money is not everything.
