Yes that is a depressing thought, but I'm not suggesting that job satisfaction is impossible to achieve. We need to shift our expectations. Shift the job satisfaction paradigm.

Even though job satisfaction has proven over the last two decades to be transient, illusive and unreliable, we still cling to the notion of getting it because it's all we know. We've not been oriented to want or expect anything else.

In exchange for our time and talents we expect to be satisfied. We want a paycheck, but the most persistent questions that arise during our career are these: "Is this all there is? Why am I killing myself? Am I doing what I'm supposed to be doing?"

We lack an understanding of how to recognize our career contentment. Maybe if we had more contentment, some of our mere dissatisfactions might disappear?

The resources we've spent years developing with learning and curriculum design experts will for the first time teach people how to do this.
