Hi, everyone,

I am new here. My English is basic.

What do you work for?
for yourself?
for money?
for family?
for others?
etc....etc....

This is very simple question. Could you reply the simple sentence and easy to understand for me. Wink

Thank you in advance. Razz

Sae,

You have raised an interesting topic. What about yourself - what do you do for a living?
As for me, I used to work in the retail sales industry as an employee for various companies and then I became self-employed. So, to answer your question, I work for myself to earn a living but I also work with people like Alan and Slava.
Let's see what the other forum members have to say...

I am working for myself now.
But if I had got an English job, I will get more money than now. I want to hope so.

Recently I am thinking about my job. I will change my job in 2-3years. All I need now is new enviroment for me.
But i have to think pay attention to it.

The other day, my frined told me that Money is following the later of work...(I am sorry I can't explain well because of my poor english.....)

What was your most enjoyable job so far?

Hi Sae,

Your friend is right - when you concenctrate on bringing benefits to others by solving their problems you will be rewarded appropriately. However, if you work because you want to earn a lot of money for yourself you will have a hard time achieving your goal.

Of couse I work for living, but in fact my salary is not enough for my living, so I am trying to find another job in a foreign company or an joint venture company. But the first condition to join these companies I must have a good English.

Torsten · Tue Nov 30, 2004 21:10 pm *Working for money?*

Hi Yo,

Thank you for joining our community. So, are you saying that most people work for money? To be honest, I have never met one single person who really would be working for money. They all needed the money in order to get what they really wanted: a holiday trip, a house, a car, good education for their children and thousands of other things. Nobody actually wants just money.
What do you do? Where in Canada are you from?

Regards,
Torsten
PS: Does Telus provide good Internet services?
