Jimmy Buffett Quotes

I'm probably satisfied with my career 80 percent of the time.

I just love to work and spend time with my family. And that's the reason I don't look at the length of the role, but what it has to offer me.

I'd like to just work - steadily work - and do parts that I enjoy doing.

My job is to create myself a career that I can go to sleep satisfied with what I'm doing.

I think we should be able to work until we want to stop, which is what I'm going to have to do.

I would pay to do what I do if I had to.

I think a lot of times it's not money that's the primary motivation factor; it's the passion for your job and the professional and personal satisfaction that you get out of doing what you do that motivates you.

Doing something because it's quote-unquote a good career move doesn't really appeal to me.

I'm one of the great unemployed looking for the next job. I'm waiting for the right offer. Like anyone, I want something that turns me on inside.

I don't really have a career plan. There's no joy for me to just be a personality in my work, and I feel that that's so much of what's out there.

My entire career, I've been a worker.
