KEW Episode 60: The Are vs Should Problem – Jobs and Careers

Preview KEW Episode 60: The Are vs Should Problem – Jobs and Career
This week I go back to the roots of the Are vs Should Problem. For me this whole quest began when I was a kid and realized I had made a deal with the devil to blow 2/3 of my day working whatever job I’d be lucky enough to get….
