what if you enjoy what you do?

what I get done at work is far more productive that doing shit at home. its more leisurely, but dont get that feeling of having actually done something. Dalai Lama is right, but missed on the important factor of productivity. "back in the day" where people worked to survive or worked (harder than now) to keep family afloat, it was different but now... you can easily do nothing if you want. so productivity and sense of accomplishment are important factors.

Yeah that was just a random quote I got off google

It was more in reference to Ishan

I see too many friends with degrees, who go through all that work and end up either unemployed or just an ordinary job not related to their degree. And as such has been a waste.

So Ishan should work his butt off (doesn't have to be academically) to put himself in the best position possible to secure a full time job after he finished uni

The future; so scary.

But I do agree with points raised. Gotta make the most of this once-only life; career and lifestyle wise.

I agree. But that does assume you won't be productive with your spare time...

Also, productivity and a sense of accomplishment doesn't necessarily = happiness...though it may for some. A life enjoyed can be a matter of feeding the senses, non-stop, with enjoyable stimuli!

I think that everyone should try sitting on both sides of the leisure vs work debate and then decide. Work an overworked and highly paid job; be unemployed for 6 months. Preferably in that order. Then decide where the happy medium lies

If I get the job I'm trying to acquire at the moment, it'll be a 7 minute drive against traffic.

Potentially winning!

after 2 months bumming around Europe last year I was so keen to get back to work.

I did the working like a dog, and being a bludger for 6 months.

Didn't like both. Must be my shitty job and lack of money to enjoy during the bludging.
