Getting a Job at the Zoo

When you're aiming for nirvana, there's a bigger gap between what you want and what you get. The higher your expectations, the more disappointed you are by everything you don't enjoy about a job. Chasing happiness can chase it away. To love your work is a really high bar. Take a study of college seniors. Those who were looking for the ideal job felt more negative emotions throughout the job search and ended up less happy with the job they ultimately got.
