Digg it UP - How Much Drama Do You Need In Your Job?
Vending machines. Can't walk into a store without bumping into one of these tempting titans. A friend of mine tells me that at his local supermarket they have vending machines that sell everything from smokes, to candy to trading card game packs. People just can't seem to get enough of them.So when di
I’m not here to sell you on a job in radio, but to ask you this question:
How much drama do YOU need to have in your job? If it’s a lot, recognize this fact, and seek a situation that provides it.
If you’re driven by this motivation, you won’t be happy being off the beaten path or outside the limelight. And if you’re stuck in
Lets talk about images in advertising for a moment. Most advertisements for clothing (i.e. bathing suits etc), show shapely thin women and men.

Drama can come in many forms.
For example, you can be a salesperson and have lots of drama. A realtor never knows when she’ll get her next listing, or close her next sale, but when she does, she cashes in, big time!
That’s dramatic.
A waiter can earn big and small tips and no tips at all. He can serve the rich and famous or the down and out. There’s some excitement in that, and especially on those evenings when the chef is throwing knives around because his pet cat hasn’t come home in four days.
I co-hosted a radio show the other day, for an hour. It was dramatic, because I was in the studio, and we had to handle calls, squeeze in news, weather, and traffic, and pay for it all by running commercials. Happily, all I had to be was an expert commentator.
But it was dramatic, especially when someone called in with a question I never expected.
I noticed that the rank and file at the studio, the account executives and clerical people were a tad spunkier than their counterparts at, say, financial companies.
Why is this? They’re doing, essentially, the same work.
They’re more alive because the atmosphere is electrical, exciting, and that rubs off on everybody.

If you’re driven by this motivation, you won’t be happy being off the beaten path or outside the limelight. And if you’re stuck in the outback, well, you’ll probably produce drama for yourself where none is appropriate, through destructive devices, such as gossip, office politics, and underperformance.
