US workers adapt… to what they want out of life
March10
In my urban Denver community the variety of jobs held by my neighbors is as varied as the cars we drive and graffiti we find on our fences. And even more varied is how we go about accomplishing said jobs. The trend I notice lately is that our jobs have to revolve around our life rather than our life revolving around our jobs.
We choose to adapt to what we want to do with our life and who we want to be rather than what we should be doing. Be it family time, sustainability, less commuting time, travel time, home schooling, skiing. Hmm…. always my fav. Anyway, we are choosing to drive less expensive cars, live in smaller houses, remodel by going to places that recycle cabinets, etc. We are less willing to settle for the “more more more” that we are being sold, and go with “less less less” in favor of relationship and intentionality.
It looks like a hybrid life of partial telecommuting, adapting degrees we received to something done via freelancing on our own time, on our own terms. I hear politicians saying our country is going the way of socialism and communism. It’s so funny to me when I see the American independent spirit alive and well, and thriving. And blowing the walls off the boxes we saw our grandparents and parents put themselves in. Saying, perhaps that box isn’t the right fit for me. And why should I use a box anyway, when so many other options are available.
