What is the meaning of work?

Are you about to graduate from college and wondering what to prioritize when searching for work? Or are you in the middle of your career looking for a change or unsure what’s next after a layoff? 

Coming up at 9 a.m. on Tuesday, MPR News host Angela Davis talks with a philosopher and a psychologist about the purpose of work and its value in our lives.

Angela’s guests say people feel unrealistic pressure to love their work.

Instead, they suggest trying to find work that seems worthy of your time and effort.

We want to hear from you, too.

Why do you do what you do for a living? What questions do you have about creating a meaningful career? 

Call us during the 9 a.m. hour at 651-227-6000 or 800-242-2828.  

Guests:

•  Jennifer Tosti-Kharas is a professor of management at Babson College near Boston.

• Christopher Wong Michaelson is a professor of business ethics at the University of St. Thomas and New York University.

  Jennifer and Christopher are the co-authors of “Is Your Work Worth It? How to Think About Meaningful Work.”
