‘Some people live to work, and others work to live. In most cases, this depends on the job they have and the conditions under which they are employed. In your opinion, what are the elements that make a job worthwhile?’

In answering this question, I would like to look first at the elements that combine to make a job undesirable. By avoiding such factors, potential 1.________are more likely to find a job that is more worthwhile, and by doing so, hope to achieve happiness in their work.
First of all, it doesn’t matter if you are an 2._____________worker cleaning the floor, a 3_______ 4 ___________________ worker on a production line in one of the 5________ or a 6_______ worker in a bank, shop or one of the other 7________ if you lack 8._________ , with the knowledge that you might lose your job at any time, you will never feel happy. Everybody would like a 9 _______________________ in which he or she is guaranteed work. Nowadays, however, companies have a high turnover of staff, 10 ___________________ new staff and 11 ______________ others on a weekly basis. Such companies are not popular with their workers. The same can be said of a job in which you are put under a lot of 12___________and worry, a job which is so 13________that it takes over your life, a job where you work 14____________ and so never get to see your family or friends, or a physical job in which you do the same thing every day and end up with the industrial disease that is always in the papers nowadays- 15 ._____________________________

With all these negative factors, it would be difficult to believe that there are any elements that make a job worthwhile. Money is, of course, the prime motivator, and everybody wants a good 16 ________ . But of course that is not all. The chance of 17 ___________________of being given a better position in a company, is a motivating factor. Likewise, 18______________ such as a free lunch or a company car, an 19 _________________scheme to make you work hard such as a regular 20_________- above the rate of inflation, 21____________in case you fall ill and a company 22 ____________scheme so that you have some money when you retire all combine to make a job worthwhile.

Unfortunately, it is not always easy to find all of these. There is, however, an alternative. Forget the office and the factory floor and become 23__________ and work for yourself. Your future may not be secure, but at least you will be happy.
