People underestimate the virtue of work. Work is wholesome for the body and good for the mind. It keeps you busy, and your mind active, or idleness which usually comes from nothing to do, may lead you to do what is worse than nothing.

Work is beneficial for us. It organises life. It gives structure and discipline to life. Work gives you a sense of usefulness and accomplishment. Most importantly, having something to do keeps boredom at bay.

The trick is to find something you enjoy doing. They say find something you enjoy doing and you don’t have to work another day in your life. It wouldn’t be work if you enjoy what you do.

It is well researched that unemployment is connected with negative health consequences. People who are unemployed can suffer psychological and social distress. Unemployment leads to stress-related illnesses and a lowered self-esteem and also uncertainty about the future, financial instability, and loss of vocational identity.
