Most people with ANY job today are happy and I would certainly include myself in that category. However, there are jobs that have inherent “opportunities” – for adventure, fulfillment, etc. (you get the picture)… Joe Wilson, a Senior Director in the Academic Evangelism organization for Microsoft has one of those jobs
