what's your definition of a good job?



What’s your view of a good job?
Over centuries many a people have believed a good job is the kind with less work load, high pay check, encompassed with juicy allowances that cover health bills, education, phone and housing bills. But hell no! That’s not what a good job should be.

Mike Rowe in his article http://www.detroitnews.com/story/opinion/columnists/ingrid-jacques/2015/05/29/jacques-discount-dirty-jobs/28083811/quotes that 93000 jobs fall vacant in Michigan and almost every country because simply no one has the required skills and technical expertise. this happens in Uganda where a highly qualified surgeon will earn 1.7 per month while a downtown businessman involved a business where his team that unblocks drainage systems, fixes  nasty Kampala manholes and shovels shit for a living around several cooperate workplaces and public toilets will pocket over 16m a month worth of net pay.

This income inequality drives these public servants into corruption and other evil ways to land enough dimes to match and sustain their lavish spending & lifestyle, and since they are paid peanuts embezzlement is the only way out.

The education sector should spearhead the revolution by changing its focus. Students are still enslaved in old systems that train for no specific sector in the economy. A  PhD holder with no single year of experience in the field expects to head a construction or manufacturing industry simply because he or she has been appointed by authority. Where does he lead the company?

Government ministries get the whole point wrong. Education ministries headed by military veterans and agricultural sector in the hands of social science graduates! What the heck?
Employment should be based on knowledge and expertise relevant to the field not from individual instincts and relational ties. Let government projects and programs land in the right hands and minds. The only way we can realise a change in the economy.

High school kids should be lured to more industrial oriented courses and this will reduce on the sheer damages that crammed formal education has engulfed us in.

Swallow your pride, roll-up the sleeves and get down to what you consider to be dirty jobs . there’s a secret in the toil and at the back of your mind remember that fortune and knowledge are not only inside college buildings and in lectures nuts but spread across the street. If only you care to notice.

Are you living ?

Yes , you got the question right , am i living, are you living ? we can each take turns answering this, many of us are afraid of reality , is that why we don't take that risk ? is that why we cling to that stressful, enslaving job? if there exists something like reality check, then we need need to really undergo a reality check, take an audit into our lives and gauge where we stand. so there's this friend of mine, and being a modern era full of social networking platforms, i send her an inspirational link to some article that was in fact relevant to her field of study, she brashes it off as trash, i didn't want to believe he was trying to let loose her outgrown arrogance towards me, i quickly diverted my attention to other things so i could avoid any more disgusting and reckless comments from her. Yuh, often you ignore a wake up call intended to inspire you and later give you the extra guts that you need when the day goes awry, i mean when the schedules, deadlines, and...

hate is a waste of guts!

Image
Am amazed at how people love and quickly hate . Sometimes things are not what they seem, skimmed milk masquerades as cream. why cant  people ever master the art of showing their true colors ? why should you waste your entire life in pretense and falsehood? if you hate* me, be still and tell it  to me straight in my face. it saves you much calories tending to your individual inner needs than just spending hours lamenting over sheer hatred  .     once you hate or love something, be quick to take your side. there's no accounting for taste!
