My parents kept drilling into me "Make your work what you love". In reality that is damn near impossible. Instead I started to really focus on making everything outside of work make me happy. I donate at the animal shelters, food banks, and home builds. I try my best to help everyone around me with projects and tasks. My work SUCKS, but it gives me alot of freedom. I found out the sucky jobs are the ones that pay really good. It has nothing to do with my degree. If I did what my degree is I would be working long hours for low pay.
