So they say.
But millions of people have done that and feel more lost (and more in debt) than ever.
Others spend decades in the same career, desperately wanting a change, but don't know how.
Job websites like LinkedIn are great if you already know what you want, or just want more of the same.
But what if you have absolutely no idea what will make you happy?
Even if you are one of the lucky ones, and you know what you want, we all have this uneasy feeling that everything is about to change.
AI is about to take many design, programming, office, call center and transport jobs.
Cheap humanoid robots will take many cleaning, logistics, food prep and manufacturing jobs.
Everything the school system prepared us for is about to be turned on its head.
Are we all going to live off a monthly UBI check from the government?
As tempting as it sounds for a moment, it won't fix our deep inner need for purpose, connection, self-expression and growth.
AI's impact is finally making us rethink work from first principles.
For too long people have been stuck in jobs they don't love, working with people they don't like, wondering what it's all for.
What you really want is a mix of money, growth, self-expression, stability, connection, and adventure.
The exact mix depends on who you are, and where you are in your life.
What you really want is people to take a chance on you. To train you up and teach you new skills.
After all, the only way to know if you like something is to try it!
What you really want is a way to instantly show others how great you are.
Not to constantly re-prove yourself on every application form and in every interview.
What you really want is the ability to express the fullness of your multidimensional self by doing multiple things at once.
Multiple jobs = multiple income streams. No single employer has power over you.
And finally, what you want most of all is to get out into the world, work with friends and meet new people who share your values.
