This blog post is a question, a question that is as important to life as it is to the world in general.
Should I seek a career, or be happy with a job that allows me to indulge my hobbies?
So option one focuses upon the idea that I will in fact live to work, Ideas for this would quite probably focus upon books or gaming, and therefore would work to the detriment of the freedom of hobbies. However a higher level of job satisfaction should lead to a generally happier Martin from day to day.
Option two is the idea of taking a job that allows a larger amount of free time, providing me time to roleplay, LARP and generally see my friends, allowing me to be happier with my social life to the detriment of work.
So then, which’ll it be? Answers in comments or tweets please, thanks.
I say go for a career. I’ve spent time doing crap work and trying to make up for it with hobbies but it just doesn’t balance out. You end up hating your job and that reduces your mood a lot more than hobbies can raise it.
Well it did for me anyway.
Mart. I go with the career option because although you think you have freedom at the moment, earning more money gives you lots more freedom to indulge your hobbies and stuff.
Anyway I am a saddo that lives to work an I still enjoy my life hugely. But mart the choice is yours. Xxxxxx
