It seems that most people assume that you have to work at a job that you hate and then stay at that job (hopefully) for the next forty years.
It is a myth.
I recently came across Dan Miller and his (48 Days To The Work You Love/No More Dreaded Mondays/Wisdom Meets Passion) book and I have to say, it has changed the way I view my work now.
I thought you might like to check out the site as well.
Let me know what you think. It seems to have worked for tons of people because they share a ton of success stories on the site.
