随着媒体为2020年大选预热,关于什么是“好工作”,美国人可能会听到许多相互矛盾的观点。有些人会把亿万富翁当作美国伟大荣光的榜样来赞美,也有人会批评他们是美国经济误入歧途的证据。在所有这一切当中,要记住,“好工作”的概念本质上是复杂的,因为归根结底,这场对话关乎我们最重视什么,无论是从个人还是从集体角度。即使是对于沃兹涅夫斯基和达顿研究中的护工那样一贫如洗的美国人,工作也往往不仅仅是一种挣钱的手段。它是目的与意义的源泉,是一个人在世界上的立足之处。
There’s a possibility, when it comes to understanding good jobs, that we have it all wrong. When I was speaking to my H.B.S. classmates, one of them reminded me about some people at our reunion who seemed wholly unmiserable — who seemed, somewhat to their own surprise, to have wound up with jobs that were both financially and emotionally rewarding. I knew of one person who had become a prominent venture capitalist; another friend had started a retail empire that expanded to five states; yet another was selling goods all over the world. There were some who had become investors running their own funds.
在对“好工作”的理解上,我们有可能完全是错的。和哈佛商学院的同学们交流的时候,一个同学让我想起我同学会里的一些人,他们好像一点也不痛苦——让他们自己也有点惊讶的是,他们似乎终于找到了一份在经济和情感上都有回报的工作。我认识一个人,他成为著名的风险投资家;还有一个朋友建立了一个零售帝国,扩张到五个州;还有一个朋友在世界各地销售商品。有些人已经成为管理着自己的基金的投资者。
