Do you like your work? or do you just work for making money? As we know, we couldn't live forever, so why don't we just work for interests? What can we do if we are pursuing on some work we didn't really like?

dear subha12 actually I clearly not understood your contention about the topic. Whether your remarks is on mylot forum or for other purpose. If it is in mylot forum that I also agree with you but for other purpose obviously I will not share your views as our engagement in the job to earn money for our livelyhood and if we will not be paid in turn of our work then how could we survive. Wherever I am working I sincerely work with utmost satisfaction of my superiors. I am selling my labour in terms of money which may be called salary/wages. But in my lot forum if payment is not made I will visit this website and write.

I did used to hate my job, I only took the advancement at first so that I would have the money to support me and my son, after my wife left us. Over the years I have grown to love it, and now it is not just about the money. I have days now at work that I actually enjoy.

That situation happens a lot. i've asked the aged people about this question, they ofter told me, "love your job!" But since my job takes me a lot of time and I don't really like it, I often wonder that is it a waste of life.

Working from what interests many wouldn't provide enough money. And while we may not live forever, we are living longer. And we need to eat. And pay bills. So I say we work to make money. So we may live.

You're right, we're living in a real world. I'm now doing the job i don't really like, i plan to switch my job in another field. So recently, i'm reading some professional books about. Obtaining new knowledge makes me happy, it's like that the world open another door to me. But i know, it is not a easy thing to get a job when you're nonprofessionals. it's a tough job and it need courage and perseverence. Maybe i'll try.

Before when I was new to my work I really like it. I gained lots from my work. But as time goes and I've noticed that my tasks is just repeating and I feel bored about it I consider I am working for my interest to earn in order to have a great life.
