September 10th, 2026. Welcome to the Women in Money podcast, as well as everyone smart enough to listen. Hi there, Robert, the producer here. And today we have a rather short classic Susie School for you. It's a short work week, so why not a short podcast episode? This one comes from a Labor Day themed podcast that we did a few years ago. And the main point that Susie makes, I think, is very relevant today. So it's going back to the top of your feed. Susie and KT will be back with an all-new Ask KT and Susie Anything podcast this coming Sunday. Remember, if you want to write in and maybe get your question answered on the pod, send an email to podcast at asksusie.com. That's podcast at A-S-K-S-U-Z-E dot com.
And now, here's Susie.
I always think about holidays and what they mean, and are we celebrating them for the right purposes? So I always look up the definition of what Labor Day is a celebration about. And here's what it says. Labor Day is an annual celebration of the social and economic achievements of American workers. And I thought about that. And I thought about that. And I thought about that. And then I got really sad because I realized the real reason you are celebrating isn't because you're celebrating your social and economic achievements of what you have accomplished. It's because you get a Monday off, which means you don't have to go to work. So you are not celebrating your achievements at work. You are most likely not celebrating the fact that you have a job.
And the reason for that is most likely you are not happy in your job. When I ask so many of you and everywhere I go, I always say to somebody, I go, what do you do for a living? All those questions that you ask one another when you don't really know what else to say to each other. I always end up asking them, are you happy in your job? They normally say to me, no. So I'm asking all of you right now. Are you happy in your job?
Why does Suze say most people aren’t truly happy in their jobs?
Yes or no? So if your answer happened to be no, the next question that I would ask these people, and you need to be asking yourself, is why aren't you happy in your job? All right. For those of you who answered no, I want you to write down why you are not happy in your job. For those of you who answered yes, that you are happy in your job, I want you to write down why you are happy in your job. Now, I don't know what you're going to write or not, but the most frequent answer that I would get when I asked that question was this. Oh, Susie, I'm just not passionate about what I'm doing. I want to quit my job. I want to find a job that fulfills my passion. Any of you write that down? How many of you have written me and you've said, you know, Susie, I want to quit this job that pays me a whole lot of money because I want to find a job that fulfills my passion.
I'm looking to fulfill my passion. Hmm. I have to say, I honestly have no idea where that concept of finding a job that you are passionate about came from. And that's what you're looking for. Because in my opinion, that is the worst advice I have ever heard. And if you've heard that advice, that's the worst advice, in my opinion, that you have ever heard. Now, why is that? That's because passion changes all the time. not just in what you do, but even who you're in a relationship with. One day I hear you saying, I love this person. I love this person. Oh, Susie, I'm just so passionate about them. And then a while later, you say to me, I hate this person. There is no passion between us whatsoever. And then, of course, you end up splitting up.
You know what I'm saying is true. How many relationships have you been in that it was just so passionate? And was it the passion that you loved?
