测试下你是否满意现在的工作（上）

The average American spends a lot of time at work -- more than 1,800 hours a year. But how many of those hours are spent daydreaming about being somewhere (or anywhere) else?

普通美国人每年的工作时间很长——超过了1800个小时。不过其中有多少时间是在做着白日梦，幻想着自己能在别处(或者随便另一个地方)呢?

A lot of things play a role in your job satisfaction besides the actual work itself. Your emotions, skills, financial needs and performance are just some of the factors that make or break a job.

除工作本身外，还有许多事物决定了人们的工作满意度，包括情绪、技能、经济需求和工作表现。

Remember: Not everyone loves every aspect of their job. It's a matter of finding strong positive points that you can focus on.

别忘了，没有人完完全全地喜欢他/她的工作。重要的是发现和关注该工作的积极方面。

If you feel like you don't have any positive aspects of your work that you can hone in on or your work is making you feel physically ill on a regular basis, re-start the search and find a job that will kick your negativity and give you challenges and sense of value you need to like what you do for a living.

如果你找不到积极方面，或者这工作老让你生病，那就该跳槽了。去找一份扫去阴霾、给你带来快乐、挑战和自我价值感的工作吧。
