People work for a variety of reasons; we work because we need money to care for ourselves and our families, because we feel satisfied after accomplishing something, because it provides us with an intrinsic sense of meaning, because we get bored if we don't because we take pride in what we do because it gives us a chance to relate to other people because others respect us for our work because it provides us with enough income to travel...There are many reasons for working, and working can meet a variety of needs for each of us.

• What needs does working fill for you right now?
• What about your parents? Your grandparents, or friends?
• What needs do you hope that working will fill for you in the future?
