Based on these life time statistics, your two most important priorities in life should be to have a good mattress and a great job. But, if a good mattress costs $1000 and lasts ten years, when you get out of high school at 18, you only need about $6000 to sleep well for the rest of your life.
Your career choice however, will determine how well you eat, how many sick days you have, how much time you will have for leisure, and most importantly, how happy you will be. Over the last 20 years, psychologists have developed tests that can identify our job strengths and skills as well as determine what jobs we would find the most interesting. A job that maintains our interest creates happiness whereas a boring job is like a prison sentence; based on the above statistics, a 19 year prison sentence. If you make the right career choice, you will have tremendous advantages in your life time. The advantages are manifold but the most important one is that those 19 years of work will not feel like work! That is our ultimate goal in life; to find a job that we enjoy so much so that work will be as natural as sleeping on a great mattress!
