I think that reflects more poorly on you than you might think. Not because you're calm and laid back but because you don't care. If you're working a job that doesn't excite or, at least, interest you, you're not doing anyone any favors by continuing to work that job. Do yourself a favor and find something you like to do and a place you like to do it in.

"Choose a job you love and never work a day in your life." That is probably a cliche for a few good reasons.

  "...because that field isn't hiring" would be the punchline.

> I think that reflects more poorly on you Only if you are interested in climbing the corporate ladder. And I don't care about that. Yes I suppose it's bad that I'm not passionate about making money, heaven forbid.

  You're advocating simply refusing to participate in the game, which may be a good choice for you personally but probably isn't applicable more broadly. As an overly-extreme example, imagine if a woman responded to sexual harassment by refusing to ever get a job again. It may have solved the problem for her, but it's not good advice to give someone experiencing the same thing.

i think he is still working, i am not what this compulsion being sincere to corporation. I can sincere to the monay paid and get the job done for that. I dont have an interest in making money for the CEO. If the corporations are so good CxO should be get less money and share that with other in company and community. When they limit thier profit sharing why should we not limit how much value we provide to them. Why we should give our life to company.

why does everything need to be black or white? development is nice, has creative heureka parts that few other jobs have, but it's just a freaking job, nothing more! life has so many more interesting things to offer (travelling, adventures, family, friend, you name it), that it would be shame to miss on them (and later regret, like so many work-wise successful people do when old).
