Changing Jobs to Career Opportunities
Would there be value in changing from more "Jobs" to more "Career Opportunities?"  A career could be defined as work that is securing more than money to pay the bills, and also to contributing to the welfare of the community.  Basically this is a change in the attitude and approach to a "job."  The store clerk that makes the effort to assist the customer to make a purchase that will benefit the customer is functioning in a career as opposed to the clerk that assists the customer to "make a sale" without concern for the customer's need.  This distinction  is more obvious in careers  such as a policeperson  or a fireperson,  but  the effect  on society  is no more noble or important.  One might conclude that the uncaring attitude and practice of a policeperson, store clerk,  or anyother  working member of society turns their work into a "job" instead of a "career opportunity."
WHAT IS YOUR TAKE ON THIS?
Real Change in our society must come from the hearts of its citizens.  Our focus must change from competition to cooperation; our decisions must be based on the principles of right and wrong, not win or loose, and our goal for a "pot of gold" must change to  a better society  for all.
