There's so many things I'd rather be doing than work, a infinite number of things really, but I have to work. What I don't have to do is work at something I don't like
This reminded me of the Mark Twain quote "Find a job you enjoy doing, and you will never have to work a day in your life." I think you being able to choose which jobs to take is a really enviable position. Most of the people I know tend to choose the one that pays the most. Although after the pandemic, more employees are putting more emphasis on work life balance, and WFH setup.
For me, I think the biggest requirement is the work environment. I've been in a toxic workplace, and I had to leave even with the higher salary because I don't like it. The next would probably be a good mix of salary and work-life balance.
Yep, that's sort of the premise, although I'd rather travel the world forever than work at even the most favourable job.
Toxic workplaces are the worst, so demoralising...the only real option is what you did, extricating yourself from the situation.
It's not too late to start now. There are a lot of jobs that are travel related. A lot of influencers get to travel, and they charge the trip's cost as an expense so almost 'free'. I'm not saying you can do it instantly, but you can start small, and as you gain following, the revenue can pay for the trips at least.
Dude, I've been to almost every country on the planet already...I just haven't seen everything; I wasn't saying I haven't travelled.
I never said you haven't travelled. I don't know where you got that from my statement, but that's how you took it, and I can't do anything about it. What I did say is you can start making traveling your work since that is what you wanted to do.
If you just wanted to brag you've been to almost every country on the planet, I can respect that. 😀
No worries, all good.
Brag?? Hmm, ok...an interesting choice of word.
