Career-Op: What do you do? (4.70MB; download) -- If you want to be very clear about your feelings towards your current job, here is a little test. Find a child (son, daughter, nephew, niece, friends kid) and try to explain to them what you do for a living. If you are really lucky, you will have a child come to you with the same question. Dont think about your answers. Just talk. You might be surprised at what comes out of your mouth. If so, capture those thoughts any way you can, because they represent your true feelings about your work.
