Loved hearing Daniel Gilbert's talk on why we are such poor predictors of what makes us happy. However, the good news is that we can change what predicts our happiness. Daniel calls it the Synthetic Happiness... one where we can be happy on things we are not supposed to be happy about! Which leads me to think, don't we all do well in jobs that we are truly passionate about? And don't you need to be happy about the job to be passionate about it? Thus if passion can be synthesized in our minds, then we can come to love any job out there.
To borrow from someone's famous words, Ask not for a job you will be passionate about. Ask what passion can you bring into the job you've got!
