Although there may be thousands of different kinds of jobs, as I see it there are basically only two kinds of work. One is the sort that in the main is done for its own sake. It has little to do with bosses, or clerks or wages and it usually proves rewarding in itself. The other sort is normally done in return for a weekly wages in factories, on building sites or down in mines.
A research scientist may find his income quite a lot for doing what he would do anyway even if he were rich. Others grumble. But could you find such a person who has never grumbled all his life?
The worst things of all is having a job where there are no consolations whatever. A factory worker says, "For eight hours a day, five days a week. I’m the exception to the rule. That life can’t exist in a vacuum. Work to me is a great loss, and I begrude (吝啬) every precious minute of my time that it takes." Another man says, "I have little other interest in the job than getting money on Friday and getting out of the building as fast as I can."
An office clerk may say, "An office clerk produces nothing. He runs a paper chase which goes on from year to year, and seems completely pointless. How can there be anything but boredom in it for him?"
An advertising copy-writer, guilty of earning so much just for writing the ads, says, "Every time I’m asked to write the lable for a tin of beans I feel absurd. And every time my cheque arrives I’m glad. I’m not as little as the girl who works the machine that puts the bean in the tin."
What are we working for anyway?
Money. Nothing else.
If your work is not what you fancy, if you have no interest in it, then the work is a bore. Don’t you agree?
The advertising man ______ .
选项
A、feels the factory girl should earn more than him
B、envies that factory girl
C、feels work in a factory is not worth doing at all
