Every job has it's problems, it's good points and its bad points. Evey one has had that boss from hell or that co-worker that you loved. We spend a majority of our lives with complete strangers, sometimes seeing them more than our family. The average American commute to and from work is slightly under 1 hour round trip. That adds up to a little more than 10 days a year spent in our cars going to and from work. I recently left my job in the Insurance industry. I've been involved with insurance, banking and finance for most of my adult life...and this voluntary departure was based on several reasons...but it got me thinking about work, anti-work and significant work. I am not afraid of work. We all have to put food on the table, we all have bills to pay. When I first started looking around for a new job, which at the age of 57 I thought it would be daunting, I quickly discovered it wasn't. A lot of employers actually contacted me directly when I floated my resume
