"There is an art to everything it's just a matter of finding it and you can learn a great deal from even the most tedious work."
Go down to your local sweatshop and try telling that to some of the people working there. See what they have to say about it.
- ThomPete 16y agoI think you are missing the point here. I am talking about an opportunity to turn crap work into at least challenging work. I have worked some pretty crappy jobs myself from packaging crab cakes to cleaning at 3 in the morning to sorting packages. There is always things to focus on that will make it worthwhile. When I was 22 I was head of sales for a small telemarketing business. The people working there where young and the job pretty freaking boring but hard as hell. The average number of individual orders that people would accomplish in a day ranged from 5 to 40. Which meant that I had some frequency to play with. So I invented a bunch of games that had bonuses attached to them. Sales went up 200% and that is for the people on canvas. You might not choose your own job, but you do choose how you approach it.
