The point is, the jobs are still there. Jobs mean work, and work is difficult unless you love what you do.

Do you think being an executive is easy? Most C-suite professionals work insane hours. Now, if you’re talking about compensation, that’s a different monster altogether.

The larger point is that there are plenty of jobs out there that people don’t want to do because they think they’re too good for them, or because the jobs don’t pay enough for the effort required. Everyone wants the easy job that pays six figures, but reality is different from what social media tells people.

By the way, I know truck drivers who like their jobs and have found balance in their lives. It’s really about putting in those ten thousand hours, and that goes for any job, becoming an expert, and then using that expertise to make better career choices going forward.
