Does your passion and paycheck collide? Here’s how it starts. It is reported that the average American will spend 90,000 hours of their life at work. It blows your mind to consider that number, huh? Let’s break that down a bit… You’ve got 24 hours a day, so 168 hours a week, making 8,736 hours in your year. Considering the statistic above, that means that working 90,000 hours in your lifetime is equivalent to working approximately 10.3 years straight, all day, every day. Now that’s mind-blowing!
What’s even more staggering is that only around 30% of those individuals who spend 90,000 hours of their lives at work enjoy what they do and the company they keep at work. Most Americans spend a decade toiling away in an environment that brings no happiness and fulfils no passion! What a sad truth to be revealed.
