Too many are the reasons why we work. Sometimes, we work to earn money or as a habit that we need to work to ease the boredom. There are also people who wants to have a job, yet they cannot find the right job for them or left unqualified for some reasons as well. Whatever the reasons why you work, do you find your job worth it for you? Or you find it unsatisfied, yet you cannot just resign because it is hard to find another job? Just share your thoughts..Everything is appreciated...

Wow! I am here in the Middle East, far away from my loveones. I found a work here. I wanted to land on a job just to have money to supply my needs and my family. So when they gave me an offer, i grabbed it and this job gave me what i wanted - money. After almost two years, i feel unhappy now, im tired with my daily routine and wanted to have a break. I want to feel happy again. To be with my loveones to be reunited. I want to see GIRLS!!! Hahaha...

the main objective for working is primarily having your stomach full and have the money to live a life, unless you are born with golden spoon in your mouth.

When I was single I work because I want to be able to buy stuffs for myself. When I got married, I needed to support my family that is why I am working. I want to be able to provide for my family. I am ok with my job except that I want to be able to spend more time with my boys since I am the mother, though nowadays there are a lot of working moms and they say that spending quality time with the kids is better than the quantity. Sometimes, it really saddens me when I get to miss recitals or presentations because of the demands of my work. Maybe with a little more freedom with time, I would be content with my job.

The main reason for me is because of the money. Both my husband and I work in order to pay our mortgage, pay our bills, and put food on the table. Unfortunately, nothing in life is free. I am fortunate that I do quite enjoy my job. I now have a great boss, whom I have been working with for over 2 years. The company where I work are pretty good to the staff. The money is not great, but I do enjoy a certain amount of job-satisfaction. So most of my "work-related" boxes have been ticked.
