Some decades later, some of us might be enjoying the profession we have chosen while others wont. What happened along the way? Choices happened. Reality happened. We changed perspectives, we gained opinions.
Our worth nowadays depend on commercialism. If we have unique skills that we can market to the highest bidder, we get paid sufficiently. If we lack skills and we refuse to empower ourselves learning new ones, then we have no other choice but to settle with a minimum salary and a hand to mouth way of subsistence.
Reality is, even if we graduated with several college diplomas we are not assured of landing a well paying job, we merely have an edge above the majority of the individuals who did not go to college, or those who preferred to go to technical and vocational schools.
Burnouts are prevalent when we easily give in to the demands of the times. Who are immune to burnouts?
Some of us avoid burnouts by getting adequate rest, enough support from family and loved ones, healthy foods, receiving perks and incentives from others or from ourselves, and having enough recreation or hobby to take away some of the stress.
Some give in to stress and seek other less stressful jobs.
But what if we didnt live in a materialistic world? What if we didnt have to earn a lot to feel secure in society? What if we just be what we want to be for as long as our choices did not include doing anything illegal or anything that could harm other human beings? What if?
