Skill vs. Interest vs. Compensation
July 22nd, 2007
This morning, I came across the best Venn diagram that I’ve seen in ages:
The scariest area is at the bottom right: you’ve fooled somebody into paying you for something that you don’t like and don’t do well.
I wonder where the majority of American workers would be placed. I wonder where the majority of my colleagues would be placed.
I wonder how much the productivity and output of the country would improve if everybody were in the magic middle area.
(This post is part of the 100/100/100 challenge)
I live in that part.
This is so true! But I think there is a reason the middle area is so small. 🙂
