Expanding on a point he emphasized in a recent NPR interview linked to here yesterday, Bloomberg columnist/&lt;em&gt;New York Times Magazine&lt;/em&gt; contributor/&lt;em&gt;Liar&amp;#8217;s Poker&lt;/em&gt; writer/ex-bond salesman and graduate of Princeton University Michael Lewis distinguishes the differences between a job and a&amp;nbsp;calling while giving a confused and disillusioned young banker some advice on life after Wall Street: &lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;A job will never satisfy you all by itself, but it will afford you security and the chance to pursue an exciting and fulfilling life outside of your work. A calling is an activity you find so compelling that you wind up organizing your entire self around it&amp;#8212;often to the detriment of your life outside of it.&amp;#8221; &lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Lewis adds, &amp;#8220;There&amp;#8217;s no shame in either. Each has costs and benefits.&amp;#8221; &lt;p&gt;And his larger point is that Wall Street never gave people callings but &amp;#8220;jobs that they could pass off to themselves as well as others as callings,&amp;#8221; and that now, without big banking bonuses, perhaps tens of thousands of bright young students will spend a little more time finding a calling rather than a job.&lt;/p&gt;
