Are We Missing the Point about Careers?

On February 25th special guest speaker Mike Dickens will be continuing the Are We Missing the Point? series with Are We Missing the Point about Careers? We'll explore things to think about in choosing a career. How can we pursue a career that is in balance?

We're looking for ideas that will illustrate these concepts:

- Many people work jobs that they hate.

- We should work jobs we love.

- There is more to a good job than the actual work you do.
