There's a high point in your career, and then people get bored; they want something else to come along.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If you're happy with what you're doing, then you don't get bored.
It always irritated me that people think they have to be locked into a career path.
It's not about my career now. It's just about finding great work and having a good time.
It's like Forrest Gump said, 'Life is like a box of chocolates.' Your career is like a box of chocolates - you never know what you're going to get. But everything you get is going to teach you something along the way and make you the person you are today. That's the exciting part - it's an adventure in itself.
I think people tend to fall into their careers sometimes, and maybe that's a lucky path to follow because you actually end up doing your purpose.
When you spend a year or two researching a subject, and you're still fascinated by it, that's a good indicator that what you're doing will appeal to others, as well.
I feel like, in general in my work life, my main goal has been to just be in a situation where I'm not bored with my job. That's been the entire principle. Got my wish.
When you first get opportunities, suddenly you get surrounded by a lot of people who want to make money off you but also are there to help. But they start telling you so much what you need to be and what you need to do to maintain some idea of career maintenance.
Work is making a living out of being bored.
Eventually you get bored and you want to work.
