Cheers! Work and study, are two different worlds, study is where we are send by our family to school and crave to have good grades, while work is where we apply our own achievement and we crave to gain good compensation and live a life to the fullest. When I was a kid, I prefer to have a work than to do study, memorized and analyze everything under each subject, Math,English, Chemistry,Social studies or History which I hate the most, MAPEH (music arts, physical education and home making), the subject I most enjoy with. The mind of a kid, is simple and not that complex, for I see that time, most people at work they are calm and relaxed sometime they just laugh and can chit chat with their mates while they are working. While at school, I have to behave and avoid talking when the teacher is talking, no standing, no eating during classes, I hate those rules, but poor me I obeyed them all. But when I graduated from college, I realized all those what I foresee about a worker were all reversed. I had a hard time looking for a good job with good compensation. And it is really not that easy, all I can think of is that, I wish I'm a student, for I can ask money from my parents and spend all what is important for me. Thinking those people at work before are happy, meaning that they are working passionately. As I grow in the world of reality, life isn't really that easy, lucky to those people who are at work and complaining about their job than having no job at all. Hopefully, I will work passionately in order to serve human kind and as well to be happy in my life.^_^ How about you? which do you prefer? to work? or to study? or you may have both ways. You may share your ideas about this. Thank you and God bless!

Hi Bingster! I have been working for so many years now. And honestly the work that I have enjoyed so much was on the farm among the many disabled and poor teens. We were not paid and anything to feed us came from the farm. So it wasn't just a work, it meant survival too.

Hello Tomitomi, I salute you, for everybody I've known, you're the only one who works without compensation, just to survive here in the world. And these teens you're helping to, God will be the one to return the reward that is worthy for you! I bet, you have an online connection from your farm. That's a good one, Have a nice day! I'll continue praying for the good of all mankind, for those disabled teens may feel comforted by you. ^-^

hi bing I am retired so had all the best of both worlds the schooling and the working and now the relaxing and mylotting for work and enjoyment and fun.I worked for many years as a nurses aide and the last 23 years I wo rked in the tustin library shelving media of all kinds. I loved both jobs as I was doing things for other people, not just myself.helping others is the most rewarding kinds of work. bing when you get that good job you will have such pride now you can help yourself and not have to get money from mom and dad. Good luck and hope you get the job you really passionately want.

Well, I'm a student until now. I usually think that situation. I am a student now and thinking to go work. To be honest, I want to work now even if my schooling is not yet finish. But when I had read you post. It brings knowledge to me that I should finish first my schooling to have a weapon when going to reality.

Hello Buragee, As of now,you're still a student and you think that its better to work than to study right?, we come to have the same idea , and thanks to you, you are able to read my discussion and realized that reality is too far different from the world of studying, but you are right, that without it, we have no weapon to have a good work. God bless and have a great day! Keep up your being a good student its really a plus points when you will apply to a prestigious company.^_^
