find a meaningful job

I found a job as a campaign advocate. I enjoy this job because we are supposed to get to know the people on a personal basis before drafting their letters to congress. I have only been doing it a week, but hopefully it will be something that is emotionally fulfilling.

I have worked in corporate america for ten years. I have held executive admin positions, an paralegal positions. I was able to pay all of my bills and I had a nice place to live. But, I didn’t like going to work. As soon as I got there I got involved in the “rat race” it was extremely stressful. Working as a paralegal for a personal injury lawyer was worse. I would see people with multiple slip and falls, and multiple law suits where they were “injured”. There were valid accidents and injuries, however most were frivilous and could have been solved out of courts.
So, here I am taking time off, not sure what I want to do. Last month I left my job with the school system, I left for personal reasons. I LOVED that job, but I wasn’t even making $700 a month. But, the work itself was fulfilling. Is it possible to love my job, do something meaningful, and still make a decent amount of money?
