Depends on what your goal is, I suppose. If you are looking for the "perfect" spouse, you are NEVER going to find him or her, because nobody is perfect, not even you, right?
As for a job or career, I am of the opinion that it matters not WHAT you do for a living (as long as it is legal), but rather it matters HOW you do what you do. If you go to work each day with a song in your heart and leave each evening feeling satisfied, then you are successful.
I know a woman in Battle Mountain, Nevada (a nothing little town in the middle of nowhere) who makes Blimpie sandwiches for a living. As I am a driver, I get through there about once or twice a year and always stop in to have a "Susie Sub" as we call them.
She is professional, courteous, responsive, and always does her best to make me the best sandwich possible.
You may think that Susie is leading a dead-end life in a dead-end job, but I am here to tell you that I appreciate her and I think she is a success.

I think in general we seek what we want but sometimes this isn't always apparent. In love I definitely have who & what I want this is why we found each other to begin with. Again this was not something I was constantly in search of it just happened and we met and here we are. Now with work some people are happy and say they are doing exactly what they want. I can remember in college hating that pressure of having to chose my major the one thing I was going to do for the rest of my life. It was truly nerve recking. I have since graduated and am actually doing something intirely different and not because I hated my major just because. Life happened, things change, and someday maybe I will use my major but right now I am happy. Often with work we do what we have to for instance we go where the money is not necessarily not with the job the fulfills us the most. When it comes to matters of the heart I advise not settling though always seek what's best for you, that way if you do have a sh*ity job at least you'll have someone you love to come home to!

As for my husband, I have exactly what I want. I am very happy with him...but our marriage hasn't exactly been a bed of roses. We just worked at it and didn't give up.
As for my job, yes, I am happy but do want more. But I know I have to put in some time before I can be promoted to where I want to be. It's not hard, at least I do enjoy what I do and the career field I'm in.

For a job sometimes I settle, for a man, no.

depends if you have options available. If you dont have options , then might as well settle for what you got in hand , else you may end up with nothing at all.
