Most people need a job as an important fulfilment in their life. A means to earn a daily living for their families as well as gain some social status. People who are out of a job are sometimes looked upon as outcasts of society. economicly and socially less desirable. What are your views on this? Can you lead a happy life without working for somebody else?

Are you prepared to do anything to keep your job or will you look for other legal ways to earn money?

Is "work" the same as "having a job"? Are there other ways of work? Other ways of making money?

Why would you be sad without a job? What's so important about it for you? Would you be prepared to consider alternatives?

I definitely am happy without a regular job! :) The freedom I have is priceless and I like serving my clients and making my own money. The benefits being able to do whatever I want whenever I want to are countless. Being a Resource for others gives me pleasure and brings me a type of positive energy and a willingness to get things done without being told what to do! I don't feel disrespected because I don't have a regular job... Building my Life is my job! Oddly enough when people greet me on the street, they always say, hello, Sir! One of my affiliate programs pays me for helping people find work, strangely enough... It's as if The Omniverse is allowing me to use my freedom and resourceful talents in the service of others! :) May Blessings Abound for you and yours! Thanks for being who you are! May Good Fortune allow you to grow your business and may be wealthy in all ways! :)

I do need a job but I mostly work for myself now, and I find it to be much more fulfilling. I do believe that for stay home parents out there that that alone is a full time job that they should be proud of. I don't have any children and I have health problems that make it heard to work most outside jobs and that is why I love so much what I am doing now with my two businesses. It does make me feel better to be doing something. I don't look down on those without a job, if they are looking or if they have a real reason to not be working. However I do believe a healthy strong person does need a job and should not be depending on others to support them. Welcome to Mylot!
