10 Reasons You'll Always Have SATISFACTION with your Career...

If you're the type of person who lives to work, or even if you just love what you do, your career can be a source of satisfaction.

By Phong OG Published 4 years ago 5 min read

There are many reasons why you'll always be satisfied with your career and never regret the choices you make. For example, some careers can offer a more structured lifestyle and more stability than others. Sometimes, professions can provide plenty of social opportunities like meeting other professionals in similar fields or employers. While other professionals have the chance to work for a great boss and fellow employees that are like a second family.

But there are also some less obvious reasons why you'll always have satisfaction with your career. And here are a few of them...

1. You can feel free to be yourself

Keeping up a fake persona for the sake of making others think highly of you is exhausting work, and it comes at an even bigger price. In attempting to be what we're not, we often become miserable. We lose parts of ourselves in an effort to gain some social currency. You'll never have to worry about any of that if you're in the right career. It's a job, not your life. You can take off the mask when you step off the job and be yourself.

2. Happiness is more important than money

In today's day and age, it seems almost cliché to believe that happiness is more important than money. But it's true. The main reason we work is to get paid for doing what we love, but making money isn't everything. And when we're not happy at work, it's almost impossible to be successful. You'll feel good about yourself when you're doing something you love.

3. You can meet interesting people in your field

When you're working in your field, you have the chance to meet lots of interesting people from all different walks of life. These people are really great to talk to and are always happy and eager to have a good time. Many careers also provide opportunities for networking with many different types of people, which is always great for growing relationships in the long run and for developing new skills that might help your job in the future! Sure, it may not be glamorous or exciting but that doesn't mean it's not important.

4. You can learn new things in your field

As someone in any career, you're likely going to be exposed to all kinds of new things and learn a lot about yourself at the same time. Not all careers are very physical for example, some may include a lot of writing or other intellectual tasks but even so, you'll find plenty of ways to learn and grow through your job. The skills you learn can be applied in other careers down the road, especially if they help you advance your career path.

5. You can set your own schedule

If you're creative and self employed, for example, you can pretty much set your own schedule. You decide when to work and when you'll take breaks from work. This doesn't mean that being in a career is any less rewarding but it does mean you get to work around your other commitments and priorities in life without feeling like you have to do things just because the clock says so. And if it's not a 9 to 5 job, then sometimes no one really expects that there is any more to a day than what feels right for you.

6. You can have a fulfilling career and still have time for a family

One of the greatest concerns many people have when choosing a career is whether they'll be able to manage the expectations of work, home, and family life. And while it's not always easy to balance all these things, there are plenty of careers that offer more flexibility than others.

For example, if you're working as an independent contractor or freelancer, you can set your own hours depending on how much time you need to spend with your family. If you're a freelancer in a field like journalism or design, this means that you can pick up some extra work at night or on weekends from home.

7. You can help make the world a better place

If your career allows you to work somewhere you feel good about, or somewhere that helps others in need, then it's probably a good career for you! Work provides us with many benefits outside of monetary compensation it can be a great way to feel like we're making a difference in the world and allow us to feel as though we're contributing.

Many people find this type of satisfaction knowing that they can help make things better for other people. You'll be able to enjoy the fruits of your labor and be proud of your job even if it doesn't pay as much as you'd like!

8. You'll feel like you have a purpose in life

Some careers can seem more fulfilling than others, and it's often because we decide that we want to help other people. For example, if you work as an accountant at a non profit organization or a charity, then there's something really fulfilling about knowing that you're making some sort of difference.

It may not pay as much as it probably should after all, it is a charitable organization but still it feels great. This is another reason why freelancing can be so rewarding you get to choose the organizations and causes that you want to pursue in your work. You can make the world a better place on your own terms.

9. You'll know what your career has in store for you

What if I don't know what I want to be when I grow up? This question is one that many of us ask ourselves at some point in our childhood. And the answer is always a big, resounding you'll figure it out. You don't need to know exactly what you want to be when you grow up or even in 10 years from now but you'll probably know the kind of work that really interests you. And isn't it better to find something that you love? Even if your career isn't perfect, at least it will fulfill your needs and desires.

10. You don't have to work hard

Work is work, and it doesn't matter if you're in a hard-working job or the most laid back career of all time it will still be work. But some careers might be easier than others to deal with when you're working at them because one of the jobs you don't have to do is physically exert yourself. You won't be lifting heavy objects and breaking your back, but you'll still have to get up and go into an office or make a sale or something.

Finally

As you can see, there are many reasons to go into a career. Whatever it may be, you'll love the rewards that come with your job, even if it doesn't pay as much as some other careers. And that's perfectly fine! You'll find there's more to being in a career than just money, and even if you're unhappy with your job at first, it won't always be that way. There are plenty of benefits to having a career and being in the workforce, and most of them mean more than just money.
