A job should mean a job for life?



Living in the 21st century, we can longer rely on a single job. In fact, these days people are forever seeking better job opportunities, in order to earn more income and have a better standard of living. To rely on a particular job is just like hanging by a thin thread. It is very risky in case of any down turn of the business. Therefore, the cliche “a job for life” would not be possible.

A long working hour and a lack of fringe benefits, are these characteristics of A desirable job? Obviously, everyone would like to work in a good environment, with high salary. A job that offers better pay and plenty of benefits is always as per our requirement. For instance, nowadays there are many people who quit their current job and search for a better job. In addition to this, I believe that the motivations of people are different. In some case, social security is the important factor for people to continue to work in the same place. Despite the high amount of salary that is being paid per month, social security may be the next needed. In fact, no one would like to work in an unstable position, as they can be laid off the job at any time. Similarly, in this competitive era, each business might be faced with a lot of competition that results in their shutting down. Therefore, to depend on one job may seem to be too dangerous.

As a conclusion, for people to continue work in the same job, usually depends on the motivations. Personally, I believe that it is impossible for one to continue working in the same job for life. Everyone works for a better quality of life; therefore people look for a better job that is more worthwhile.
