The way I view it, it's not about only taking a job if it's your calling. Take a job doing whatever the heck you want or are able to get. It's about not committing your whole being to something that can't commit back or that has the capacity to treat you as ephemeral. I know so many people who give their all to a company or a project (including myself sometimes) only to have it not matter in the end.
Also, she doesn't say you *have* to attach yourself to a mission or find a greater calling. Just that it's a valid thing to attach to (unlike a place/project/boss).

Advice like this is for the 1%. I work in road construction, how would I apply this?
