I understand that nowadays it is very important for people to earn a lot of money. As a matter of fact, many
people equate money with success: the more money you earn, the more successful you are. However, the financial
aspect is not the most important aspect of a job. The work environment and camaraderie with one's coworkers, the
personal fulfillment from one's occupation, and the opportunity to balance professional and personal lives are
much more important.
People who spend forty hours a week or more at their place of employment should enjoy their work
environment, especially the company of their co-workers. After all, the prospect of having to spend any amount of
time in a room or a building with people who one does not respect, who are unpleasant, or, even worse, hostile, will
have a very negative effect on one's disposition and mental health. A few more dollars in the bank account cannot
compensate for this.
Similarly, one should derive a special fulfillment or pleasure from doing one's job. Normally, a person will
spend at least a third of his/her adult life at work (eight hours or more every day). One should not waste this time by
doing work that is boring or tedious even if it is well paid. The money earned will only enrich the life away from
work but not enhance the work experience.
Finally, the personal life can only be enjoyed adequately if there is enough time away from the professional
life. Affluence affords many nice things, such as houses or cars or television sets, but a person who has to work
night and day will not be able to derive any pleasure from them. Also, a father or a mother who makes a lot of
money might be able to provide his or her family with a comfortable life, but how much good does that do if he or
she never sees them? Time spent with family, especially children, is invaluable, and thus a job with long hours
might cost a person more than it affords.
