People never seem to realize how important having a job is to their health. All we ever hear are the negative effects that jobs create from the stress and pressure of the commercial world. Well, having a job has a lot of overlooked positive attributes as well.
Going to work at any workforce is a driving force to coerce people to develop their focus and to be able to handle real world situations better. Through the constant interaction of people and situations, one learns quickly about how to act in different situations and just learns about different things in the world.
Working teaches responsibility not only in the work being produced but in the outcome of the produce being worked for. To attain money and spend it wisely or even just to spend helps people learn the value of the dollar. Part of getting a pay check is more independence than previously held, and through independence one's self esteem climbs.
Finally, as a positive driving force behind working, it helps keep people focused. Granted, most job do allow a certain allotment of time to do your own thing, most jobs require a certain amount of focus and resolve to complete said tasks. The time spent focusing is actually a cognitive exercise that improves memory and attention to detail.
And as a side note, the time spent relaxing at work gives one time to think about whats going on in ones life or just to socialize with people, both of which are said to be quite healthy.
In conclusion, working is good for you, even if it might be a little stressful at times. I believe it makes one both a stronger person as well as a better one in most cases.
