There is a lot of truth in the article, but what I find crucial is to look down inside trying to figure out what the fundamental problem is. Maybe the apathy is just a manifestation of some deeper problem, in which case just switching careers may not automatically solve it.
I remember that in the past I also did have some feelings of dissatisfaction about my job, but after identifying and then overcoming some internal problem (like for example insufficient work morale, attachment to my own ego, etc.), suddenly the dissatisfaction disappeared and everything seemed to be "just right". |
