What? People take those jobs because they need money to live and that's their only option (or at least they think it is). Unless your hobby pays, it has absolutely nothing to do with it.
- ChuckMcM 7y agoFWIW I have known Vice Presidents with this problem. Their entire notion of self worth was wrapped up in their job performance and what people said of them. People internalize their value in different ways, some are more resilient than others. Having something that you can be passionate about and good at outside your job has been shown to help resiliency. That's a good thing for anyone's mental health I suspect.
