Being Overqualified to Occupational Fatalism

Can you imagine meeting with your friends over beers or coffee to talk about your excellent jobs, relationships and the consumer activities that we are supposed to take part in?

As I am applying for jobs, I came across an article about being overqualified. As much I would like to think that someone is beyond a prescribed number of tasks and responsibilities, it so many cases a new environment, so rarely will we not learn something new. With regards to the idea of evolving in a career, one may find satisfaction in higher levels of prestige, recognition, salary etc. However, one cannot deny that the goals that one sets defines how we will feel about the outcome. In contrast a lack of goals can stunt any desire or volition.
Although there are some jobs that do make people's lives better, such as in health care innovation, prevention and urban planning to improve access to services. I just hope that doing a job which will me more assurance that the sole democracy is this world is to become nothing more that dust with a lot of organic matter.
