　　Mark Twain pointed out that if work were so pleasant, the rich would keep it for themselves. But however much people may think they dislike work, everyone has a deep psychological need for it. Everyone wants to be valued, and wages and salaries are the visible proof that we matter.

　　Not all kinds of work qualify, however. No matter how worthwhile or demanding they might be, bringing up children, housework and voluntary employment are not usually seen as “proper jobs”. The only “proper job” is one that provides paid employment. Being paid for a jab in our society means higher personal status.

　　Of course we would also prefer work to be useful, pleasant and interestingand also well paid. But you don't really have to enjoy your work to get pleasure from it. The fact that we have to overcome some difficulties, that we have to deal with doing daily tasks, in some way gives us pleasure.

　　For example, having to be in a particular place at a particular time, working as part of a team towards a common goal, gives us a sense of purpose. The modern workplace also provides somewhere where people can assert their identity or create a new one.

　　Without work many people become untidy and lazy, and find they are unable to enjoy the spare time which is available to them. When some people retire (退休) from work, they lose their sense of value and purpose. For most of their lives their personality, self - image and status have been shown clearly by work; without it they lose their desire for life.

　　People who suddenly lose their jobs can find the situation particularly difficult. At a single stroke they lose all the advantages and status that a paid job provides. In a culture controlled by work, they are seen by those with jobs as incompetent or lazy. It is little wonder that stress and illness take place more frequently among the unemployed.

　　Employment is now changing, however. Information technology has already significantly changed the world of work. For many, the idea of a job for life is no longer realistic. Many people fear they will lose their jobs, and some are being persuaded to accept the possibility of part - time work. Even the workplace itself may become a thing of the past with more and more people working at home. This means that we may no linger be able to depend on work to define ourselves and our position in society, and that we will have to find new ways to give our lives a sense of value and purpose.
