A man boards the wrong bus and rides to the wrong stop, then compares it to staying in a job that doesn't match your goals. He argues you should ask whether work is actually moving you toward what you want or just taking you somewhere you didn't choose to go.

When I wasn't familiar with the bus system, I remember getting on the bus and I was late to an appointment. I remember getting on the bus, bus starts taking off, and I'm looking around frantically because I realize I'm on the wrong bus. So it's taking me to a path that I don't want to go to, and I can't get off until the next stop. Now think about the analogy here. When you have a job, is that job getting to your goals and dreams? Or is it going on a path that you don't want to go to? You're at the mercy essentially of the bus driver, aren't you? And the bus path. Isn't that what a job is? Isn't that like what a job is? You may not get to where you want to go to.
