Comment Joy (Score 2, Insightful) 895
My training is in Slavic Linguistics. After I got my doctorate, I accepted a job as data manager for a drug testing company. The owners have been great to me, but because I have no joy at work, I just gave my six months' notice. I'm seriously considering teaching yoga as my next career, although a return to teaching Russian would be good as well. I think we are created for wisdom and joy. If our jobs are not helping us grow in both, then we are doing ourselves and others a disservice, and it is time to move on.
