"...a job you love." I've been fortunate in finding a couple of those over my working career. I sold custom, large size, full color printing projects. Catalogs, direct mail, inserts, etc. No business cards or stationery items at all. Good, appreciative clients who became good friends as well. Built relationships that were good for years in most cases and resulted in my making very nice money. As is often the case for successful sales/customer service people who happen to be paid on commissions, the boss gets the "owner's disease", otherwise known as greed. In each case, with these jobs I loved, the boss decided his successful sales people were making too much money and slashed commissions drastically. Nothing saps enthusiasm like that. The last time it happened to me was only a couple months after my wife died of cancer. I thought about it for a few weeks and decided "screw this" and retired. I actually took a part time job working for a friend who gave me about 20 hours a week of something to keep me busy. I didn't need the income by then, but the activity was good for me.
