All of us who work do it to earn a living. Yes, that is a given. But is there more to your job than the dollars and cents you earn from it?
I work for SolidWorks, manufacturer of the leading 3D CAD software that enables product designers to design products. What has made my job fun?
In the last 10 years that I have been at SolidWorks, I had the pleasure of designing the software that has had so much impact on people's lives. It is truly pleasing to see the products that have been designed using SolidWorks.
The portable defibrillator that Zoll Medical designs to help a person survive a cardiac arrest or the incubator designed to provide a safe environment for premature babies (see picture) or the latest toys designed by SafetyFirst that my kids play with - the list is endless. This is what gets me going - this is my emotional paycheck. Have you thought about your emotional paycheck? What impact do the products you design have on the world? Think about it - that is a lot more gratifying than the paychecks we receive every month. You may not realize how much impact you may be having in making this world a better place. Give it some thought and be ready to get a fresh new perspective on your job !!
