Some say that the ideal job is one with the government. Not a lot of oversight, great (or at least reasonable) benefits, retirement is taken care of, relatively stress-free, etc.
In other words, once you have a job with the government, you’re pretty much set.
But there can be a downside to working for the Fed.

How happy are you in your current job?
If you’re not that happy, what would it take for you to consider leaving your current place of work and joining a different company?
Would more money make you happy, or are you so miserable that you would take a pay cut just to get out of the situation you’re in?

The workplace can be a stressful place.
The job aside, there’s the whole political game going on, where everybody is jockeying to be in the next position available for career advancement. Yeah, it may be a jungle out there, but the office jungle can be a pretty rough place too.
Some get in trouble for not speaking up enough; others get in trouble for speaking up too much. How do you find the balance between the two?

How well do you know your pornography?
More specifically, how well do you know your porn stars?
Sure – we’ve all played those “NAME THAT BOOB” game, and who could forget this song?
We Saw Your Junk
Do you consider yourself Awesome? Are you great at what you do? Are you a stellar 5-star performer at the top of your game?
Chance are, unless you’re George Clooney, you’re not amazing at all.
Fact is, you’re very likely extremely mediocre.
And that’s okay.

They say that doctors make a ton of money.
And some really do.
But after you take into consideration the many long hours that they put into education and refining their skills and knowledge, some would say that its relatively fair compensation for what they have to go through to be able to fix us when things go horribly wrong physically.
Really, would you want a doctor that wasn’t highly compensated taking care of your body?

Are you happy at work?
Maybe Web Watch should ask the question a different way: does your job make you happy? Are you happy to GO to work?
Or are you happy to have any job at all, regardless of what it is?

Some people love the job they have, and would never leave it for anything.
Others will work a job for as long as they have to until something they perceive is better comes along.
Web Watch knows one person who quit their job, just because. Didn’t have a go-to position, but just didn’t like what they were doing and then decided to try to “find themselves”. They ended up taking a non-professional job just to get their foot in the door of an industry that interested them, and then quit that one a few weeks later. For these types of people, a job is not a lifelong dream of a career built on love, but just as a means for bringing in some money to survive until the end of the week.
