I realized that many people are writing about ideal workplaces and how they don’t want to work in cubicles. A lot of people want to work somewhere where they can travel and have fun. I also want to find a career where I can be creative and work in a place where everyday is different. However, I realized something depressing. Finding a “fun” career is very competitive. First of I’m at a business school, where the main majors are accounting and finance. These fields provide, I guess, “boring” jobs, in my perspective. How am I to find a satisfying career here?
My ideal workplace is somewhere that I can learn and grow everyday. Learning how to use technology is definitely a must. However, no matter how important technology may be, knowing your coworkers always comes first. Working in a bakery part time, I realized how important your relationship with other people is. I may not use much technology in the bakery but having a good communication with people teaches you more than a computer.
Imagine having a job without any people but just you and a computer. I can’t see myself nor my friends working in that environment. I would lose my mind. Technology has no emotions. You can’t relate to it. Unless someone comes up with a new computer that sympathizes with you, spending many hours with just your computer is harmful to your social life and health.
