Job hopping - the defense

[TagMor]

old hippies are usually arrogant capitalists.

But I consider the highest use of wealth not simply make more and more money but rather to use wealth for the betterment of life. In this I find happiness.

I can not help others if I can not even take a good care of myself. And to be honest if I indeed became filthy rich (say with hundreds of millions of dollars), do you think I would spend it all on myself? Of course I would have to make sure I will live comfortably for the rest of my life, but I don't need to live in the most extravagant house and expensive cars and jewelry don't fancy me (although lobsters and nice clothes do).

If I ever had the motivation to be super rich it was for : 1) people I love 2) a worthy cause I believe in. Unfortunately, I am slightly selfish, and that's why I always choose how interesting the job is over how much I am getting paid in a job. I deserve to be happy and I don't think that's something to be ashamed of.

You've always sounded kind of depressive to me, with all your random posts on this board and your semi-philosophical questions about what the point of life was, what the point or working was and so on.

Yes, I have concerns and they sometimes that make me unhappy. But when there are no external facts, I tend to be happy and I can always find things to amuse myself when I am not constrained by other things. In fact, my friends and ex-colleagues occasionally ask me why do I have that cheeky smile on my face. The truth is it is probably because my imagination has turned some mundane affairs humours.

Life is full of temptation, I enjoy a lot things: be that swimming with the fishes or hiking on a scenic route, even assembling furnitures, producing of innovative, high performance softwares, or training for an cross country cycling competition. But I also enjoying coming to this forum to write my opinions.

If my threads tend to sound depressive it is because it is a bit silly to come to a forum and start a thread on how I had male colleague whose tummy grew faster than a pregnant woman's or this female boss was so protective of people under her, she reminded me of a aggressive mother hen.
