Do you have to love your job?

For workaholic ones, which are of heavier importance- country, your personal and professional goal or your family?

Do you have to love your job? How much attention do you give to your job? Refute my assertion that you need not love your job more than you love your children, your spouse, and your country. Love your parents, your neighbor, and your dog. Loving is too important an emotion to attach to the way you make a living.

There is nothing wrong, however with striving for satisfaction. According to a recent Harris Poll, across America 59 percent of workers say they are extremely, somewhat, or slightly satisfied with their jobs, but a depressing 33 percent feel as if they have reached a career dead end. If you are among the latter and thinking about a new job, consider the fact that employees in small firms said they felt more engaged in their work than their corporate counterparts did.

Striking a balance between job, and your time for your family and self is of utmost importance. Tell me, not the entire working population love most their jobs. In fact, in my inferential hasty generalization, these people secure their employment in order to provide the basic needs and luxuries as well of their families. Hence, job becomes a means only in achieving the goals, but is never the center of affection. You may refute my assertion.

You spend at least 8 hours a day at your job and these days, probably more. Do you still enjoy it? Do you look forward to going in to work every day? If you don't, you should consider making a change. Working at a job you don't enjoy isn't fair to you or your employer.
