The 9-to-5 grind, which typically is a lot longer than 9-to-5, can become a drag, a draining routine that people put up with because they need to support their family.
What if you can provide that support while making your own hours and doing something that’s much more rewarding spiritually and, potentially, financially? Amber Anderson took that step when she left the corporate world a couple of years ago and started a business called Kayson. She said everything changed when her child—named Kayson—was born prematurely.
Family considerations are one reason someone might leave a steady job for one that could be a dream one, but why else? Mike Rose tries to answer questions like that. He’s a professor in the UCLA Graduate School of Education and Information Studies.
Rose's books include “The Mind at Work: Valuing the Intelligence of the American Worker.”
