While jobs are necessary to pay the bills, there's so much more to work and life than a paycheque.
A fulfilling career can seriously improve your quality of life. Work influences how you feel for most of the week — this means balance is key to happiness and wellbeing.
Finding an employer that values a work/life balance as much as you do isn't impossible.
