Today one of the news reported that one man in Henan Province refused to work after graduating from college and stayed in home for more than 14 years. And several days ago, he was found dead for starvation.
I was shocked by the news, and I am afraid i will be one like him.
Without working, it is hard to get enough things for a good life, but life outside of home is quite hard and difficult. Now even work more than 10 hours a day, many young man still can not support themselves. I am looking for a job now, but the salary i can get from a job is very less, not enough to cover the daily life. So I once have a thought that stay at home for a while, waiting a situation become a little better, then go to work. But from the news, I wondered whether i can make that.
I hope things will become much better.

Yeah that is really a sad situation. Being able to support one's self and their family can be difficult. It is sad often this happens around the world. So many people are starving. I hope that you are able to improve you situation and lot in life. Keep searching for work that can do to support yourself.

I too hope that you will be able to do a good job. It actually means our well fair to take care of ourselves and provide for ourselves and our family. I agree that it isn't easy and it can be very frustrating.

Things won't get better out there. :P People who need job will always increase, so if you don't get out and fight, you won't get a job. I think you should find a job now, anything. Just to earn some money. But you must also be active and search for another better job so that when you apply for the new one and get accepted, you can leave the previous job. Life can be tricky, you know. If you do nothing, you will get nothing too.

Yes, if i do not take a job, people may doubt my ability to take a job.
So try to get one is a good choice though the job may be not good. Ability should be shown through the work and it also can be fostered by the work. With working experience and ability, it may be much easier to get a better one.
Thank you for your advice.

You are very welcome. Remember, at least a job to earn some money for now. Then you can decide what to do next. Good luck! :)

That is both a scary and sad news.. it is hard to get jobs these days and some people just don't find work so they can't but their needs. 
I am still in college though so i don't really know what the real world is like yet.. I hope i can get a job after graduation.

I know life is hard now. So i do not wish too much for my first job. If the job can help me get enough to support myself is ok. After getting a job, I will try to make a improvement in a year and i hope after several years when situation becomes better, I will have a better job to support my family.

Wow how can you just refuse to work? That is unheard off unless you are kind of a millionaire. Please don’t make the same mistake. Keep searching for a job even if the pay is little with time they will notice you and increase your pay.

To me, even I have enough money, I will not refuse to work.
Present I need a job to make some money to support myself, furthermore can help me take care of my family. In the future, if I have enough money, I will still work, but not for money, just make me feel happy and meaningful. I do not think a live with nothing to do can make me happy. I think with enough money, I may work a full-time mother and put my full efforts to make my children lead a happy life.
