[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I did and I don't regret it. Nothing that I got from my job except money mattered. Once I realized that climbing corporate ladder led to nowhere, it was easy for me to step back and focus on my family. [/quote]

There are several jobs that "matter." I advocate on behalf of cancer patients to ensure they and their families receive the care they need. I am also a pretty good mom.  I'm not climbing a corporate ladder, but I'm paid well enough and want to make the world a better place while I raise children who also contribute to society.  [/quote]
It’s ok to say you enjoy your job and find its importance matters to you. But if you were to die tomorrow, they’d fill your position the next day. Would your role at home be so easily filled? Maybe THAT is what truly “matters”. Your job fulfills you most in life, just be honest with yourself.

I love my job too. I do important work that matters to others. But I’m not a fool. I know I’m easily replaced tomorrow. What matters most in life is within those four walls of home. I’m not as easily replaced there. [/quote]
