P.S. The "safe" job might not be as safe as it seems. Stuff happens. Acknowledging this reality and being prepared to adapt and move on is crucial, and much harder if you're complacent and stay put based on the illusion of security. There's a huge opportunity cost in basing life decisions on risk avoidance.
As for "meaning", one can find purpose and merit in almost anything, it's more about mindset than circumstance!
- amyjess 8y ago> P.S. The "safe" job might not be as safe as it seems. It's been my experience that if you can get one 9–5 job, you can get another as long as you have a nontrivial amount of experience. For example, I last got laid off in March of 2016. In May of that year, I applied for a job that I ended up starting in June (and I'm still here two and a half years later).
