We’re meeting to discuss our thoughts on chapter 1 of the book „80,000 Hours“, which explores what actually makes a job satisfying, according to research.
You can read it here: https://80000hours.org/career-guide/dream-job/
To prepare for the discussion, please try this exercise from the book:
- Rate two career options you’re interested in from 1-5 on the five factors:
-
- Engaging work
- Work that helps others
- Work you’re good at
- Supportive Colleagues
- Meets your basic needs
- Create your own list of the four to eight most important factors.
- What job would you do if money were no object, or if you only had ten years left to live?
(You can still join without this preparation. The more the merrier!)
