Summary

In this podcast episode, I delve into the Stoic approach to selecting a career or job, offering insights tailored for both high school students and adults. I stress the significance of assessing existing roles, ethical considerations, and personal motivations when embarking on the job search journey. Throughout the discussion, I provide practical advice on salary negotiation, benefits evaluation, and company research. Above all, I emphasize the Stoic principle of fulfilling one's duties in service to broader concerns, guiding listeners on integrating Stoic principles into their job search process. -- Become a Patron : https://stoicismpod.com/members Download the daily app : https://stoicism260.com Subscribe to the Newsletter : https://practicalstoicism.net Enroll in the course : https://understandingstoicism.com Order my book : https://stoicismpod.com/book Join the Society of Stoics : https://societyofstoics.org Learn more about your ad choices.

0:00.0	Most of our media are owned by a handful of tech billionaires, but there's one place that still operates like the internet was never invented.
0:10.4	On the new season of the divided dial from On the Media, we're exploring shortwave radio, where prayer and propaganda coexist with news and conspiracy theories, and where an existential battle for the public airwaves is playing out right now.
0:26.2	Listen to On the Media wherever you get your podcasts. Good morning, Precaptan, I'm back. I'm an actual Mufasa daddy now. And my son,
0:52.2	Kaylee and Marvo Campbell, is in great health. He's gaining weight like a real
0:56.8	chubby bunny, which is good, and he's pooping like he's been practicing for years. It is,
1:03.7	seriously, a mess. But in spite of all the pooping, crying, sleepless nights, nappy changes,
1:10.0	and all those stereotypes about a new baby,
1:13.0	which are absolutely true, by the way, as far as I've found out so far, my wife and I could not
1:17.6	be happier or in a greater state of joyous contentment. One day I might write an article
1:22.6	or a bonus episode on the emotions I've been navigating since Kalyian was born. They have been mind-altering
1:28.6	and perspective-changing for sure. If you're interested in following along with my wife and I's
1:34.8	parenting journey, you can follow us on Instagram at Tanner and Ross. For now, though, we've got a
1:42.1	podcast to get to. Today's episode is about careers. It was requested
1:45.9	by someone in the Patreon community, how to choose careers the stoically appropriate way. But before that,
1:52.6	I have to thank many, many new patrons. So if you don't want to hear a thank you, you could probably
1:59.2	skip ahead 30 seconds and get through them.
2:02.3	Thank you to Nick Straub, Kimey Scott, Aidan Blackman, Andrew Thompson, Gavin S, Alistair McKenzie, Brody, Kevin Marrington, Joseph Dawson, Morpheus.
2:16.5	Hey, Morpheus, how are you? Jason Beck, Martin, Austin, Wise Guy 451,
2:22.5	Shelley, Buchanan, Paul Birmingham, Jeffrey, Shelley, Devin Arnold, Splunkerin, Scleunkeran, Skaplunkeran, Skaplunkeran. Really, there's no way I got that right, but thank you.
2:37.5	George Koshi or Kashi.
2:39.7	Knox Carter, Jamie, and Ned Bindokas.
2:44.7	Thank you.
