Philosophy of Work

Money makes the world go round. Actual "physical money" is something that is used by members of society to obtain goods and services needed for everyday life. Money is manufactured and accepted in countless different forms, making a well- functioned worldwide modern exchange system. But money is not an easy article to come by, in order to acquire a sufficient amount of money to support oneself and future family a person must work.

In today's struggling economy, a job or career is probably one of the most wanted titles. The reason for this is because not only do people have to financially support themselves but they also have spouses and children to feed and clothe. In today's society, a college education is the key in being financially comfortable. When one earns a degree, he/ she have a better chance in obtaining a job over an uneducated individual. Because the economy is in such disarray at the moment, jobs and paychecks are being cut all over the nation.

My parents have always told me to pick a career that I will enjoy going to everyday. Personally, I know that having a job that requires being at a desk all day is not for me. I believe that people should look for a job that highlights their talents and abilities.

As a devoted Christian, I believe that my career will not only be my basic job but will also be used to serve God every day that I am on scene. Sometimes as the sinners and humans that we are, I believe that we think we are truly listening to God when in reality He has a whole other idea of life for us. When making a big decision like which career to pursue, God should be our number one comforter and consoler. Without God's guidance in a life choice like this one, a person can go down a path of life that is confusing and disappointing.

As I stated in the first paragraph, money makes the world go round. Physical money is needed to make everyday purchases and to support families worldwide. When a young man purchases an engagement ring to propose to the love of his life he feels accomplished because he saved his money for something that means a lot to him. As a teenager, I know the feeling of pride when I purchase something with my own hard earned money. But when does money exceed the limit of joy and innocence? In today's society, money has become an addiction to many people. Expensive houses, cars, vacations, and amenities fill people's lives and it seems like some can never be content. Money comes through work and because of this
