Abstract
Job satisfaction is key in finding enjoyment in your day-to-day work experience. Sadly, people have substituted satisfying jobs with jobs that they took just to make a living. The problem is that people get scared that they cannot make it with the passions they have. One might think that they cannot make it as a musician so they settle for something else. One might think that they cannot make it as a professional athlete so they settle for something else. I have explored many journals, articles, and other research papers to figure out why that is. As a result I have found that people are born with a fear of living essentially. This fear is because we need to always provide for ourselves the basic necessities of life to survive. One of those necessities is making money as a means to purchase things for other needs. I will seek to reveal to the reader the need for an external force to get rid of this fear and pursue what they know will make them truly satisfied with their jobs.
