We all have a little bit of that “grass is always greener” mentality don’t we? We definitely have this when it comes to work. We usually think that everyone else’s work sounds more interesting than our own but that’s just because we aren’t privy to the drudgery that comes along with different types of jobs and yet we’re intimately familiar with that boring part of our own work.

A friend of mine works in the military. When he talks about his job, it sounds so exciting. Just the other day he was telling me about getting these new Squadcom series headsets with listen only earpieces in a delivery of tactical equipment that they’re going to be using. I don’t even know what that means but it sounds cool. And yet, he frequently complains about how dull his job is.

People do the same thing to me. I work from home and people constantly imagine that this is a really ideal situation with no flaws about it. Although there are definitely some terrific things about working from home, there are also very definite flaws in this kind of career path. I happen to know what they are from doing the job so I can see them clearly. The grass is never really greener.
