# Beruf Ein guter Job ist selten und wertvoll. Alle wollen ihren Traumjob finden. Das bedeutet es gibt viel Nachfrage und nur wenig Angebot. Ich brauche daher etwas seltenes und wertvolles, um den Traumjob zu bekommen. Ich mache mich wertvoll, indem ich Fähigkeiten erlerne, ein Netzwerk aufbaue und Erfahrungen sammle (= Karriere Kapital). Ich kann am Anfang meiner Karriere nicht erwarten direkt den Traumjob zu ergattern. Ich muss erst etwas dafür tun. Es ist nicht so wichtig in welchem Bereich ich arbeite. Besonders am Anfang arbeite ich, um zu lernen und mir Karriere Kapital aufzubauen. Das kann ich dann investieren und so zu einem besseren Job kommen. Auf den perfekten Job zu hoffen und auf Anhieb meine Bestimmung zu finden ist unrealistisch. ## Stufen 1. Herausfinden was ich möchte 2. Etwas lernen 3. Sehr gut darin werden 4. Sehr gut dafür bezahlt werden 5. Herausfinden, was nur ich machen kann (Monopol bilden) ## Zitate > "Don't be afraid to invest upfront. Invest in ways you cannot make a loss. Invest your time like you would your money." - [My "Investment Mindset"](https://blog.pragmaticengineer.com/the-investment-mindset/) * [At 40, I've done some of the best work I've ever done and my pay has been better than ever. I'm 52 now and the trend has only gotten better. Why? Its because at 40, I had a much deeper understanding of the tech, I understood of the whole business process and I had the maturity to deal with people in a productive way. You won't find all of those in a 25 year old developer. The only way that age becomes a detriment is if you do not grow. I worked with someone my age who only strong skills are a large enterprise storage system. He is a dinosaur and his future is limited. That's not his age, its the way he chose to build is CV. Age is just number guys.

This mindset is how most people approach their working lives." - Cal Newport Die handwerkliche Einstellung bietet Klarheit, während die leidenschaftliche Einstellung einen Sumpf zweideutiger und unbeantwortbarer Fragen bietet. Die handwerkliche Einstellung hat etwas Befreiendes: Sie fordert uns auf, egozentrische Bedenken darüber, ob unser Job genau richtig ist, hinter uns zu lassen und stattdessen etwas zu tun und uns darauf konzentrieren, wirklich verdammt gut zu werden. Niemand schuldet uns eine großartige Karriere. Wir müssen sie uns verdienen – und der Prozess wird nicht einfach sein.
