Wise words from my hair dresser

Some time ago when I was getting a haircut I had a very interesting conversation with my hair dresser about choices of profession in life and how it was always affected by certain factors such as salary, status, etc. Very often people don't really choose their job only because of their interest in it. She asked me a question everyone should ask themselves; "Which job would you do if every job required the same number of working hours and they all provided the same salary?". Even though it's not realistic at all of course, (there are many more factors which influence a job position, such as responsibility, accountability, etc), it can still lead to very interesting outcomes. I asked some of my friends and quite a few have no idea, but what I found surprising is that most of them do not pick their current job! So maybe you should ask yourself that question and who knows you might end up doing just that in the future. I would appreciate it if you could post a comment with what your current profession is and then what your answer would be to the above question. Should be interesting!
