Many of us don’t have the privilege to choose our jobs based on whether we think they’re meaningful. But, we have probably asked ourselves, “What makes my work matter?”
Coming up at 9 a.m. on Wednesday, MPR News host Angela Davis and her guest talk about the meaning of work. What is work and why do we work? When — and how much — should we work? And, what kind of job contributes the most to our general well-being?
Tune in for that conversation at 9 a.m. on Wednesday.
Guest:
Christopher Wong Michaelson is a professor of business ethics at the University of St. Thomas and New York University (NYU). He is the co-author of “Is Your Work Worth It? How to Think About Meaningful Work.”
