GO GET A DEGREE OR A CERTIFICATE, THEN GO LOOK FOR A REAL JOB IN HEALTH CARE OR EDUCATION OR EVEN THE ARMY, GET REAL MONEY AND RESPECT.
IF YOU KEEP DOING THIS NON-SENSE, I CAN TELL YOU THAT THERE IS A HIGH CHANCE YOU WILL END UP LIVING POOR ON WELFARE BY THE END OF YOUR DAYS.

Working in a bar was considered cool at 18. But the stuff around work matters too. Rolling out of bed from a salubrious Edinburgh New Town flat, walking less than 5 minutes to a throbbing little basement winebar (enjoying the cheer without the hangover), servicing all the City people, including a high quotient of attractive women to make sure they had a good time, I can see why that might be a job to cherish. And you got to wear an apron too.

I just posted a few days ago about "finding" meaning in your life. I believe the answer is simple, but with the question comes a catch. And the catch is why so many people find it difficult to realize the meaning of their life moment to moment. Here's the post..Create a Meaningful Life Thanks for adding to my understanding Hugh!

Question: What is the difference between finding meaningful work and making work meaningful? I think there two are not the same, and I think life demands a bit of both.

It seems to me that you’ve never not done meaningful work. From back, way back, your cartoons were your expression, no? It didn’t matter others response. Only that you got it out. That was the meaning. It has happened to catch on because you continue to hit on some very insightful distillations of human truth. Your work is not only meaningful to you. You’re now marketing those brilliantly in order to reach maximum contribution to human creativity.
Quite meaningful, not just close.
Peace.

That makes me wonder what drives me to post/talk/argue about. It isn’t quite “Find meaningful work”, but I find your message parallel to whatever direction I’m going in. It is certainly of the “find” variety. Must meditate on this.
