Make your work a call to duty
3:46:25 2025-02-13 583

If you see your work as just a job, it takes you away from what you really want to do. If you see it as a calling, it’s not a grueling sacrifice, but instead an expression of who you are, a part of you.

Victor works for the Chicago Transit Authority five days a week on a red-line commuter train. Victor is remembered by people who ride his train for his remarkable, unusual demeanor: he loves his job.

(“Thank you for riding with me. Tonight on the trolley. Please don’t lean on the doors because I don’t want to miss you,” he says during the train’s departure call.

As the train turns left, Victor points out the highlights, including the buses that connect the lines on the street.

People compliment him all the time, telling others, “He’s the best train driver in Chicago.”

“Our equipment may be old, but I want to give Lincoln a ride like a human being in a car for a dollar and a half,” Victor admits. So why does Victor have such a positive approach to his job? He says, “My father is a retired train driver and he took me to work with him one day, and I was so moved to look out that window. From the age of five I knew I wanted to drive trains.” In a study of working women, researchers found that even for those in the same type of job, women saw work as a series of arguments, or a positive experience in which women controlled their lives. The latter group had a 28% higher level of life satisfaction than the former.
