[quote=Anonymous]I love my job. I love our team, I care deeply about our mission and we do good work. I’m proud of what we contribute and I’m proud to lead our group. It’s a lot of hours, so I may transition at some point in the next few years. But, I am very fortunate to spend my days doing something I feel is important with people I care about and who are dedicated and highly competent. That’s a great thing.

My take-home lesson is that I strongly encourage my kids to find careers that they are passionate about. We spend so much of our life at work, so if they have the ability, I hope they find careers that they find as enriching and impactful as I have (after much searching earlier in my career).

A few earlier posters seem to derive gaining identity through work. I have a different view. I am a mother, a wife, a daughter, a friend, a community member, and I have my work. All of those things, the relationships and environments that I dedicate my time and energy to Help define me. So, yes, I am in part self defined by the work I choose. To me, that just means we should all choose our work, where we spend so many hours of our days, very carefully, and make sure we do something that we care about. I think that’s a great thing.
