There are over a million job descriptions in the world. Mechanics, strippers, engineers, athletes, politicians, judges, and longshoremen all have their place in the world. At first glance these occupations appear to have nothing in common. The skill sets vary widely (I’ve never wanted to see a mechanic strip), but there are certain elements of a career that each have.
- Pay – every job has some type of salary
- Work/Life Balance – nobody wants to work ALL day
- Opportunity for Advancement – Do you want to do the same job forever?
- Community Involvement – Does your company value the community?
- Personal Development – Does your company invest in your development?
Each person weighs these values differently. Which is the most important to you?
