It is true that people work in order to receive money. But do they have other reasons to work? I strongly believe that money is not the only one goal which forces us to get a job. In my view, people also work because they need a social environment and because at work they can develop their skills and realized their wishes.
First of all, people need to be around other people because we are social creatures. In fact, a person always belongs to a particular social group throughout his life – a kindergarten, a school, and finally, a work. A job means not only working but also interacting with others, sharing, gossiping, even making friends. Also I have some friends who would like to stay at home and depend on their spouses or relatives, they are more likely an exception not a rule. As for me, even though I like and need vacations and holidays, I am getting bored if I don't have my work for a long time. Moreover, two of my best friends I met at work.
Besides, work is an important tool of developing a person's character. It gives us an opportunity to apply and develop our skills, to broad our minds and, the most important, through our job we often are able to realize our dreams. For example, I always enjoyed mathematics in school and in the university because I have an analytical mind. It was my favorite subject and I always had excellent grades. As a result, after I had graduated I chose a job in this field and started to work as an economist. I not only use my mathematical skill in my job but also I have got a chance to improve my knowledge and learn new things which is very exciting and makes me love my job. There are many other examples why people like their job. One of my friends can not imagine her life without her work because she adores animals and she works as a veterinarian. She often told me that she her work is more a hobby for her because all these cats and dogs make her very happy. Also, she can not have a pet at home because her husband has an allergy so her work makes her dream become true.
In conclusion, even though money is an important reason why people go for work, it is not the only one. In my opinion, people also work because they need a social environment and because they need to realize themselves.
