The myth suggests to us that a good job will offer us ample money, a social life, status and work which we will find rewarding. It’s actually astonishing how little we pause to reflect on these terms when at school or college.

Tom Hodgkinson (born 1968) is a British writer and the editor of The Idler magazine, which he established in 1993 with his friend Gavin Pretor-Pinney. His philosophy, in his published books and articles, is of a relaxed approach to life, enjoying it as it comes rather than toiling for an imagined better future. The Idler was named after a series of essays written by Dr Johnson from 1758 to 1760.
