An article in The Dallas Morning News –November 20, 2011, edition on page 1J, “It’s Never Too Late to Follow Your Dream” by Lindsey Novak of Creators Syndicate suggests that it is never too late to purse your dream job. The article quotes a reader who states that friends say that changing careers late in life is a big mistake, and with this economy people should be satisfied with the job they have.
The article got me thinking about avocations. When talking with my students or clients, I suggest that if they are bored with their present jobs and are not giving it their best efforts, they should consider spending time with their dream job, hobby, or consider starting a small business. Energy not being used can be redirected to challenging tasks that are very satisfying. Who know? Maybe your performance on your current job will be improved!
I am a retired computer person, but I continue to teach at the University of Phoenix and do volunteer work at SCORE and the North Dallas Shared Ministries. Maybe this blog will eventually make me a millionaire! Please share with readers of this blog your thinking about avocations.
Thanks.
Glyn
