One of the people at the table was saying how there is a lull in motivation between 5 and 7 years into a job.
I am 6 years and 8 months on Hive now.
I never held a job that long, but I have spent 7 years in University ( including 3 years struggling with my thesis ).
I guess it helps that Hive doesn't really feel like a job ( even though I don't have an actual 'job' outside of it ) but it's an important part of my income or even more investments as well as of my social life.
Cheers!
Don't you find it strange that we spend so long at school, worrying about grades, but less time building a career?
Yup. I have spent 21 years in school ( including Uni ) and a number of years on the other side ( as a teacher in higher education ) before I was totally fed up with it all.
These days I still educate myself a lot but mainly in what really interest me, unlearning and learning on a daily basis, unwiring the decades of brainwashing, not that it really ever worked on me but still.
