Lawyers always survey among the tops in job dissatisfaction. Now that I think of it, not too many accountants are fired up about their choice of careers and engineers and IT guys are always posting here with advice not to follow in their footsteps.

What’s a guy or gal to do?

Come to think of it you’re all right.

I think the world is changing much to quickly for the vast majority of even the best and brightest to deal with it.

This makes it difficult for many who may overeat and gain weight and not exercise, or worse yet, abuse alcohol and drugs to try to cope. This makes it difficult to stay healthy, exacerbating the boomer health care problems.

We were told 20-30 years ago that those who got a good education and trained for a good profession, whether it was medicine/related health care professions, accounting, engineering, or law, would not be facing the same kinds of problems that the uneducated and unmotivated would. We were convinced that there would not be the outsourcing of the highly skilled work force. But it seems that there has been a “dumbing down” of the skill necessary for the lowest paid positions that can’t seem to be outsourced. Employers seem to care more about these people who are likely to not show up the first day or leave before the first day’s shift’s end. They seem to find a myriad of similar positions that they wander to aimlessly and seem to somehow survive. Maybe they live in their parent’s basement or on our taxes through govenrment subsidies.
