    What is my purpose in work? How can I find a career I love? I have been reading Hacker News for the last six months or so and a few days ago I stumbled upon a Jeff Haden piece called “Do What You Love? Screw That”. I admit, this title intrigued me. I had been…

    While I started my own business in 2007, I have been working full time since 2001 doing various things for banks and other institutions.
