My dream job is to run an NGO for victims of abuse. In a country like India, there are abuse victims in almost every nook and cranny. I grew up seeing many women get tortured by their families, especially their husbands, physically, mentally and emotionally. I always wondered if the authorities were the only people that could help such victims because clearly they were of no help. It was around five years ago when I was scrolling through social media when I came across a documentary on NGOs in India, aiming to rehabilitate and provide therapy to victims of abuse. I watched that documentary and since then, it has been a goal of mine to open something similar in my life. I would need to first gain experience by working in such NGOs and understanding the psyche of victims, because this work would require a lot of empathy and mental strength to be able to provide fair and appropriate help to everyone. I think this would be perfect for me because I feel I am an empathetic person who hopes to make the world a better place. Having seen so many abuse victims, I think if I will be able to help as many people as I can, I would die content.
According to me, a job that provides a balance between the professional and personal aspects of life, along with fair compensation and career growth, is the perfect job because it would provide the most satisfaction to the person.
Apart from salary and interest in the job role, I think logistics also impact a person’s decision of taking a job. The commute time would influence their decision because longer commutes end up seeping into personal time and leave people with less time to indulge in activities apart from their work.
I don’t think it would be fair to compare occupations like that because I believe every work profile can be strenuous or a piece of cake; it is entirely dependent on the person’s abilities and interests. So, I would say that instead of occupational comparison, there should be fair compensation within every occupation.
This could be due to factors like lack of interest in the jobs they take up, unfair remuneration at work, or lack of interest in even doing a job at all. Though, I also feel that some people like changing their jobs to keep their skills and knowledge base updated.
I think this shift has already begun because majority companies have started allowing work from home to their employees, especially since COVID-19 showed the world that remote work was a definite possibility. So, I think in the future, everyone would want to switch to roles that provide the flexibility to work from anywhere as it could provide a better balance to them in life.
