If I want to improve my job at all I have to put money into it. It's my business. I would have to purchase bigger facilities, furnish them, hire employees too. I COULD do that but I'm not at least yet because it would put me in a management position not personally caring for the children. I LIKE what I do. I find it fulfilling and satisfying in intangible ways. I am proud of the job I do even though most of the people who see the results are the parents of the children I care for and few others. I like what I do even when I get wierd looks from people in the store when I walk in with 3 small children in tow. I'm nurturing the future generation. Is there a lot of room for pay advancement? NO. Is there hope for greater success and acknowledgement of that success? Not a lot. It's what I WANT to do because it's what I enjoy.
As for working in a factory or a more repetitive job - I would go crazy. It would have no higher purpose for me and be mentally numbing. I do not understand those that continue in jobs like that. Personally I believe everyone was created to serve a purpose and that is the nitch they will fall into in life.
