If you found your dream job on the first go around, you should probably play the lottery. On average, American workers hold 12 different jobs throughout their lifetime. This number grows as workers search for a more lucrative salary, better flexibility and benefits, suitability, and most importantly—passion. No one likes being the new kid on the block, but making a career switch can be extremely rewarding, boosting energy and overall productivity. 

Happiness at work also has a way of bleeding into other aspects of our lives. Feeling accomplished can lead to more confidence, better mental health, stronger relationships, and increased motivation in all life activities.
