I'm getting near retirement. Isn't it a little late to be thinking about finding my calling?
  Many people who are nearing retirement grew up in a culture where work was expected to be drudgery. You may have sacrificed your dreams for most of your life, but now is your chance to take the time to do something you really love. You might consider volunteer work, being a mentor to someone getting started, or finding a company that really appreciates the wisdom of older people.

  Certainly you shouldn't expect to jump into the job of your dreams straight out of school. Unless, of course, you started the company! You do need to spend time in a new job learning the ropes and making connections. But don't ever think of it as "Paying My Dues". This kind of thinking encourages staying in a job that may not really suit you. You should expect to be excited about going to work each day.

Isn't work supposed to be painful? Isn't that why they call it work?
  No, work is not supposed to be painful. If you believe that, then you will settle for less and never be completely satisfied. Work is as natural to human beings as breathing. We feel bored, dissatisfied, and empty if we cannot contribute to the world in some meaningful way. Freud said that there are two important things in life: work and love.
