As human Beings in the present world the main source of survival for the source which helps each and every individual to be civilized in this society is the “Job, Occupation” they are handling. In our lives some of us find the dream job we wanted to have and some of us find the least expected job as the survival method (Shaju & Subhashini, 2017). When you find the least expected job some of us tend to let go of it and find a new carrier that we are dreaming to have while some of us decide to stuck in the same job forever. The longer we stay in a least expected job the amount of the dissatisfaction and the frustration we have on our life is more.  Sometimes our dream job can be frustrating too. If you do not tend to change the dissatisfaction nature of your job then the day to today work life will end up been a night mare to you.  So what is important is to find way to make ourselves happy or adjusted to the work that we are doing in a proper way.
