“Work with a purpose in mind. It’s okay to have short term goals, but make sure they lead to longer ones.”
- James Betterson

Most of us have to work to make a living, but have you ever stopped to ask yourself…What am I working towards?

Think about it. Is there an end goal in mind? Is there a corporate ladder to climb or are you just wasting your time? Are you just working to pay the bills? And if so, is there an exit strategy or are you setting yourself up for failure?

I’ve always tried to find a job in an industry I was interested in. To me, it was similar to a paid internship. I had the chance to learn how the company I worked for functioned, from top to bottom and they paid me for it.

It’s the same principle mentioned in Robert Kiyosaki’s, “Rich Dad, Poor Dad“.

You can’t work for money. You work for knowledge. You can chase money and become rich, but you will inevitably fail into the rat race…Heavy debt and  other liabilities tying you down.

My advice, try to look for a job that in an industry that you can see yourself in. Ex.  Marketing Research, Public Relations, Communications, etc. After you selected your job, try to learn as much as possible about how the company works.

If nothing else, you have that experience and knowledge to bring to the next job or maybe, you start your own company in the same field.

In any case, it’s just something to think about.
