What would you consider a good job?" Answered as follows:" A good job is one in which I don't have to work, and get paid a lot of money." When I heard that I cheered and yelled and felt that he should be given an A+, for he had perfectly articulated the American dream of those who despise knowledge. What a politician that kid would have made. Isaac Asimov
About This Quote

In the United States, the path to a good job is not hard to find. It’s simply a matter of finding the right employer and working hard at it. The problem is that many people have a very skewed idea of what a good job is. They think that a good job means being able to work for free and being paid a lot of money.

That’s not a bad definition for a good job, but it’s far from the truth. A real good job should give you the opportunity to do something you value as well as provide you with enough money to be able to do it. Not everyone needs to make millions of dollars in order to feel happy and fulfilled; but, those who do need to understand that they can find happiness and success doing it.
