THE JOY OF A JOB.
OU can just about divide people
into two groups— those who lov*
their work, nnd those who don’t.
For most of us our work Is the chief
part of our life. It is up to us to
choose the sort of work that we are
going to like. No amount of money
can repay you for unhappiness; hours
daily spent doing something you dis­
like are unhappy hours.
But the truth Is that the woman
who Is enjoying her work usually
makes more at it than she would at
other work. She brings enthusiasm
to It, and Improves possibilities that
she wouldn’t even see if she didn’t
love what she did.
In choosing your work you are in a
large degree choosing your life. You
aren't going to lie able to choose a
second time as far as that goes. To
waste most of it in doing disagree­
able or boresome work Is a vast pity.
Many women have been doing new
nnd Interesting work. I have heard
dozens of women announce that they
would never return to the Jobs they
had filled before answering the call
of their country. Many had done only
routine work, and hated office life.
Such women are determined not to
fall back Into the rut.
The snlury Is not everything in a
job. You, yourself, are more Impor­
tant than nn.v salary. When you
plan for a job, study for it, seek it,
remember yourself. Look for joy in
your Job, ns much as for money. It
will pay you double measure.
