Money is a Force
By Josh Vanderwerf
A person will choose their job based on their wage. Money drives people to keep working. Nobody would work if they didn’t get paid. People need money to function and survive in this world. They need to pay for the essentials such as food, bills, and shelter. Without the essentials, we could not survive. A person would choose a higher paying job doing something they hate rather than choosing a lower paying job doing something they love. Money is the force that drives workers to succeed.
Money is a part of our society. Everything runs off of money- our economy, families, personal lives, etc. We cannot live without it. It is not only important for one person, but for everybody. Workers succeed in the workplace because of money. Money is a requirement to live and support their families. The foundation of our country relies mostly on money. When somebody is sitting down in their desk at work, and they feel like giving up, they just think to themselves that they are getting paid for doing their job. The worker realizes he cannot function unless he has money so then he is forced to succeed at work.
Workers only work because they get paid. Money is the force or motivator that encourages workers to succeed in the workplace. Employees work in the same company for years because they want to get a raise and get paid more. Just like in More Working Parents Play “Beat the Clock.” The examples in this short story show that many parents have to work double shifts in order for them to pay for everything. 40% of employees work late hours/weekends. Such as the police officer who wakes up and eats breakfast at 2pm, joins his family for dinner at 6:30pm, and eats lunch while on the job at 2am. (1) The only reason this police officer kept his job is because he needed the money to support his family and himself. Who would be crazy enough to have a work schedule like this if you didn’t need the money? Money is what drove the police officer to succeed and work. Money also drove me to succeed in my summer job. During the summer, I worked for my aunt’s cleaning company Pinnacle Cleaning Services. I could have worked at Meijer but I would get a higher wage working for Pinnacle Cleaning Services. So I chose to work at the cleaning company because I would make more money. I was exhausted after each day of work but money is what drove me to keep working and succeed.
However, sometimes, money is not the force that drives workers to succeed. Passion to do their job is what can cause workers to succeed. If someone is passionate about a job, they will want to succeed in doing that job. Passion is a powerful or compelling emotion or feeling. This drives people to succeed in whatever they do in the future such as work. In Nickel and Dimed, Ehrenreich wants to find a job doing something she likes- cleaning. She took a job at a cleaning company and that was her passion. (2) However, she still has trouble doing the job. Money is what motivates her to keep working, not just passion. Everybody has a passion to do something, and the job that a person has might influence them to succeed depending on what they do. If they are passionate about the job, then passion is what will cause them to succeed. In school, I took Accounting and am now taking Advanced Accounting. I love accounting and it is my passion. Most likely, I will be in some type of business/accounting related field because it is my passion. Passion will drive me to succeed just like passion drives other people to succeed in the workplace.
Money is the force that drives workers to succeed. Without money, we could not function and survive in this world. Money keeps the world going round. Nobody would work for free. But they would work for money. Money equals success in this world. You are considered successful when you make money. Money is a motivator and forces workers to succeed in the workplace.
