Karl this is a very thoughtful look at a very complex topic. What people need to get is this. There is no right way. One needs to look at his or her situation and consider the moves that will give them happiness now and in the future. It can all work together as you’ve said.

You've provided very useful advice. More than tens of blogs I've read asked readers to consider quitting our jobs right away to pursue what we love. In reality, is that really a wise move? I would prefer your approach in starting small, finding out what our likes are, working towards making that career of choice clearer to us and finding out what we have to do to reach there.

Hi Karl – I was reading your article and read “That’s why I started Work Happy Now, my fifth blog. It fit with my degree….”. We must be on the same page as I’m asking a question today which you have just answered.

With regard to finding a job I’ve liked, it often helped me to start a process of elimination and figure out what I didn’t want to do. That, plus list my career “assets”.

Hi Janelle, complacency is a double edge sword. Once we stop taking action our job gets worse. We hurt ourselves and the company by not engaging in work.

Hi Steven, you are right. Most people who are unhappy don’t know what they want to do. My hope is that this this post will give them a few ideas on what to do to find a job that makes them happy.

Hi Karl Great post, I think this will speak to millions of people who are unhappy in their jobs. I believe the problem with a lot of people is that they just don't know what they want to do. It's an amazing phenomenon, ask 10 people today, who are unhappy in their jobs, what they really want to do and 9/10 will look at you blankly and say 'I don't really know'. Great post.

“When you can find ways to increase your skills at your present job then it will become more enjoyable.”

I agree, Karl- and how incredibly apt all of this is for me right now! It is absolutely true that we must create opportunities for ourselves so that we can see the “bigger, more exciting” picture. Too often, people become complacent at their jobs. How are we ever supposed to grow as individuals if we don’t take action?!
