Why Get a Job?

There are a number of benefits in having a job, some of these are: 

• Increased self esteem
• Increased confidence
• Wider social networks
• Sense of achievement
• Income

Keeping active and developing social networks are two common strategies to avoid depression, because sometimes not having a job can really bring you down. However the best reason for having a job is the sense of achievement that comes with a job well done, and the positive feelings associated with doing a job that you enjoy, with people you enjoy working with. Just as importantly though you will have the money to put towards a new ipod, a computer, a car, or a pony, whatever your passion is!
