While I'm a believer in doing your job the best you can. I am not a believer in letting your occupation define you. After all, even with the best of jobs you are most likely a minion being paid by a corporation that is only in it for the profit.

I am a person, not a job, not a pay check. I try to define myself by the things I do for which I do not get paid. I always considered the things I did outside of work as far more valuable. A year after you stop work your previous employer doesn't remember you and could care less about you. Someone you help in some way is far more likely to remember that help and pay it forward.
