Yeah. Work is about more than money. This is something my son really struggles with. He doesn't need a job for money. He needs a job for:
1. social contact;
2. something to do;
3. self-worth and dignity;
4. self-esteem;
5. new challenges;
6. making a contribution to society;
etc., etc., etc.
When he's not working, he mostly sits at home and watches tv and smokes. Then he starts saying he's only 27, will this be his whole life? He has no hobbies and doesn't want to do volunteer work or go back to school. So, that leaves a job to fill the hours.
