Choosing A Career
Choosing A Career
  Why do people work?
  Try to imagine how you would fill in 24 hours a day, every day, if you didn__39;t have to work. There you go - off to the beach in summer, the movies in winter, watch T.V. on rainy days, go skating or horse riding, read a lot of books or magazines, sleep . . .
sort of career翻译  Where would the money come from to pay your bus fares, to get into the movies, to buy your T.V. or to pay for the electricity, or buy your skates and books?
  Probably not, because if no-one had to worry about earning money, then who would bother driving your bus to the beach - for that matter, who would bother building your bus, or making your movies, skates, books, etc.? Why would they have to?
  What you__39;d probably end up doing would be spending most of your time out in the field
s growing your own food, or looking after your cows for milk and meat, your sheep for clothing, growing bamboo for the walls of your humpy.
  Why would you need to do this? Because no-one else would need to do it to earn money, because money grew on trees - right?
  Obviously, money in that sort of society doesn__39;t really e_ist, and is of no value to
  So, in our society, is MONEY is the NUMBER ONE reason for working ! ! ! ???
  A lot of people might agree with this statement, but is money the main reason why so many people spend so much of their time
  working?
  Surely work gives us other things as well as money?
  So, the main reason why ;work__39;__39; e_ists today is since we cannot possibly do ev
erything for ourselves, we get other people to do things for us, and pay them for their work. In order to do that, we must also do things for other people so that we can earn money.
  Think of everything you do-all of it costs money. Electricity isn__39;t free, nor is water, food, housing, clothing, etc. So, we appear to be back at the point again where money is still the MAIN REASON for working, but now probably not in the original way you were thinking.
  However, in the process of reaching this conclusion, we have uncovered another couple of reasons why people work-
  ?because you are good at doing something special
  ?other people need your skills, and you need theirs
  ?to satisfy our needs for shelter and food
  ?to provide ;lu_uries; to make our lifestyle more enjoyable.
  You can get a lot out of working - it doesn__39;t just have to be something ;you gotta do!;.
  In fact, although money might appear to be the main reason for working, it isn__39;t always the main ;thing; people get from their job.
  In fact, many people stay in low paid jobs because they get a lot of personal satisfaction from other aspects of that job.
  Rewards from Work
