Unless you find yourself in the enviable position of actually doing what you want. Getting your identity from a job you settled for in a fast food joint or a cube farm is sad. Rick the Fireman probably doesn't mind, and finds much of his life wrapped up in the community centered around the firehouse with the others there. A unique work enviroment filled with eclectic, interesting people will draw anyone into its community, an auto-dialer....not so much.
