Earning money is the primary purpose of work, however, is not the
only reason why people attend work. Personally, people attend work for
self-actualization and socialization except the monetary consideration.
First of all, working in a ideal industry is the most direct method for
realizing one’s ambitions. People are in need of self-actualization, which
force them to think about how to make their dreams come true and
indentify themselves in their career life. In turn, they are likely to get a
job and wave endeavors to make extraordinary contributions to the
industry, since the salary they get is capable to ensure their sustenance
on a materialistic basis. And I believe that achievement of an ambition
outweigh the contentment brought by money. Take Mary Curie, a great
female scientist who spent her whole life in her dream career, physics, as
an example. She devoted herself to her research of ray, even though it
brought her little material benefits. Would Mary Curie think it unworthy
to put so much energy on such “low-benefit” research? I bet she
wouldn’t. From my point of view, the main motivation comes from a
strong faith in their dreams concerning their profession.
Secondly, working in a group enables people to communicate with
each other, which meet people’s need of socialization. As for myself,
being alone for over two days will absolutely drive me crazy. As we all
know, neighborhood nowadays in the cities is no longer friendly as it
used to be. Without a job, people get little chance to chat with others,
except for some meaningless small talk with the deliver guy or the
milkman. With nothing to focus on, people who haven’t got a job are
more likely to get bored. On the contrary, work provides the main
opportunity to socialize with other people at their age and possibly
sharing the same interest. Most important of all, group success means a
lot more than the satisfaction at money.
While making money ensures our daily materialistic needs such as
clothing and eating, people attend work for more psychological needs
like self-actualization and socialization.
