Karl Pillemer of Cornell University interviewed nearly 1,500 people age 70 to 100+ for his book 30 Lessons for Living: Tried and True Advice from the Wisest Americans.
What piece of advice were they more adamant about than any other? More adamant about than lessons regarding marriage, children and happiness?
Do not stay in a job you dislike.
Via 30 Lessons for Living: Tried and True Advice from the Wisest Americans: You know those nightmares where you are shouting a warning but no sound comes out? Well, that’s the intensity with which the experts wanted to tell younger people that spending years in a job you dislike is a recipe for regret and a tragic mistake. There was no issue about which the experts were more adamant and forceful. Over and over they prefaced their comments with, “If there’s one thing I want your readers to know it’s . . .” From the vantage point of looking back over long experience, wasting around two thousand hours of irretrievable lifetime each year is pure idiocy.
Take a lesson from people who have already seen most of what life has to offer: do not waste time in a job you hate.
