Why do you work?

Friends, I want to know why you work?

Anjani, A very important question.
Thank you for raising.

I think it is important to know how you have come to this decision of taking up this particular job...and what is your meaning of success.
Let us talk about a finance career later.

Any job.. say, a software professional. I think one should retrospect why  you did take it up.

>> Your parents decided that you should be in this profession?

>> You were a very responsible kid . your parents had dreams about you and you are making their dreams come true

>> You need money to live and took up any job every job and later when you have earned enough, you will think about what to do

>> This world is made up of several spending-venues. One must get money to use them.

>> Youth attractions need money.



Once you think about these options, then you will know why one should work, rather a particular job

Good question Anjani. 😉   Initially, to make ends meet.  Then later for career. 😃   There are so many folks struggling to make ends meet. 😕
 
What about you?

Nice post 👏👏👏

Even though it is a generalized question but let me answer you from my point of view 😳

In the beginning it is to be self dependent and then it was purely for money, the thrill of it and of course  ... i wanted to enjoy everything and only this job  could give me the life style I so wanted to live...but as you say for long run , is that all one need ? to buy arm loads of clothes? to eat in exotic restaurants ?...I don't think so ...I am reaching my saturation point, my priorities are changing , money is falling in last bucket now and my attention is turning towards what I really want to do !!!

So the bottom line is , We should work because we enjoy doing it and not for money...I understood it 😳

This is really nice thought provoking post ...👏👏

I think initially it's a challenge to prove to yourself and the world that you can achieve  what you set out to do then finiancial implications are also important , and I think every woman should be capable enough to stand on her own feet , it increases her self esteem ,and confidence , also when u have a brain u want to use it ,

But a woman wears many hats , besides being a working woman , a wife , mother and a homemaker , sometimes these take too much of a toll ,hence you want to quit and take time out for yourself too 

I work ,one because I love my work ,plus the money , also the satisfaction at the end of the day of a job well done , 

Maybe someday I'll quit and travel and write , but only maybe
