A Positive Work History is a Plus in Life

It takes self discipline, team work, dedication, stability, self management of resources (time, training, etc), and many other qualities to have and keep a job or run a business of your own.... ANY JOB, and yes having a work record usually comes with work references, all of which is very indicative of one's character and income earning potential, if not also their educational and training background attainment level....

 

What type of job you choose for your life's work is also revealing of one's life productivity, performance to expectations, and it gives evidence of ability practicing socially learned behavior appropriate for their chosen line of work .... blue collar workers have different social security benefits than professionals or management employees; and workplace behavior is learned and reinforced by established norms suitable for the job. 

 

The unemployables are an interesting lot.They sometime become the small business man or entrepreneur, the enterprising and get rich quick inventors, etc; but the bottom of the barrel unemployables are generally living a life on welfare, fall into criminal positions, or exist by the goodness of a close friend or family member willing to support them.They are needy people who should be helped to be self supporting and given respect, not ridicule, for trying even though they may fail again and again. The disadvantaged, the  ones discriminated, the disabled, the mentally challenged, the too young and the too old,  all have a tough time in the market place seeking employment. even in the best economic times.

 

We all know the artful dodger who poo poos and downplays the merits of having a job history, being a productive member of society... he farts away his life to the dismay of all who care for him.  Perhaps the high school drop out should "drop in" on some of those who dropped out of a productive existence in life with the intent to understand why they should make wiser choices for their future. They can possibly help one another out of the hole they dug for them selves.
