with new knowledge and innovations. If you are in such rapidly advancing careers, you

need a job to stay in form and be relevant. Practicing in such professions helps you keep
pace with trends in technological advancements and keeps you abreast of your

professional dynamics. You will have an edge over someone who has not practiced at all
or have been out of job in a long while.

Having a job also helps you socialize. It places you in a circle of professionals or people

who do the same thing as you, think the same way, solve the same problems, or render

the same services. It places you among birds of the same feather that flock together.
Having a job increases your sphere of influence and the people in your circle, thereby

impacting on your net self-worth. The people you work with influence you in many ways
and help you improve. The job you do exposes you to continuous professional

development and overall personal improvement in relationships, conducts and in your
everyday life. You think better, see things better, have more confidence etc. because of

the positive influences that surround you.

Do not let anyone deceive you that you do not need a job, you need one, either you get

employed or you start your own. You need a job and must strive hard to get one.
However, what you need is not an anyhow job, but a decent and dignifying one; a worthy

job capable of meeting your needs and making your dreams come true.
