Labors of Love
"A large percentage of adults spend their work life doing things they don't want to do. I know that I am a very rare person indeed to have a job doing work I deeply love."
OtP hears from six people who enjoy their work

Inverted Values
"I think there's no kind of work that's more important than what our childcare workers, healthcare workers and eldercare workers do. Why aren't they at the top of the income distribution? At the top for respect and honor?"
Barbara Ehrenreich sounds off on fair pay and the corporate culture

The 10 Percent Solution
"...the entire project of work is a project in a way that a teenager would take on. It's completely done both as a labor of love and [as a way] of proving oneself. And then once you enter into that territory, the stakes are so high, that it's something you're totally invested in, that it's so easy to fail."
Ira Glass discusses the inherently adolescent nature of his work.
