PURPOSE - Making Progress

Making progress here means being able to see your work as part of your life. That will help you to manage your working life in relation to...

• earning and spending;
• achieving, finding fulfilment and making a contribution to the world;
• enjoying, resting, sharing and loving.

Everybody is different about how they see things like this: you may not agree about it, even with your closest friend. But disagreement about life's purposes is not a bad thing. Some people decide that what can't be found in work must be found in other ways. Sometimes that means making 'career' less important than other things in your life. The consequences of such thinking are always important.

You can keep this information - so that you can talk about it with your family, your careers adviser or a teacher, or somebody else who knows you well - and wants the best for you.
