"Nothing is really work unless you would rather be doing something else." - James M. Barrie
For most people, employment is the key to an independent life.
While a regular paycheck helps pay for expenses, having a job represents much more. A job offers opportunities to:
- meet new people
- make decisions, big and small
- live independently
- be a contributing member of the community
- grow as a person.
In short, a job gives you a chance to live a full life and make your dreams come true.
