What Is In It For Me???

 You can state that you are a liberal, or that you are a Republican, or a Democrat, or conservative...  but in reality, what motivates you more than anything else is:

WHAT IS IN IT FOR ME???

You may be a college graduate

a community college graduate

a technical school graduate

a high school graduate

and while each of the kinds of people have unique needs and desires, their careers are based entirely on what they are going to get out of it...  for example,

• What's my title
• What's my position
• What's my salary
• What power do I have
• What are my benefits
• What are my growth options

If I do this for you - what are you going to do for ME?

Granted there are some people who want to be teachers regardless of what they get back from their employers and there are some people who want to be pilots because all they care about is flying and there are people who just want to be cooks...

But for the most part, people only work due to what their employers are giving them...  and if it is not enough, they look for another job or STRIKE.

What got me involved in politics was JFK when he said:

ASK NOT WHAT YOUR COUNTRY... CAN DO FOR YOU BUT WHAT YOU CAN DO FOR YOUR COUNTRY...
