I helps one to be self supporting through their own efforts. In my life, I have found this to be quite useful as food for my spirit.

Good self image
Service to Others
Contributing to society by delivering a good or a service
Being rewarded for your own efforts
Being part of a team effort (sometimes)
Sense of accomplishment
Learning new skills
Making friends in the workplace

For me personally when i do finally get a job, it will mean i wont be as "isolated" as i feel now, as bob says i will hopefully make some friends. I will feel i am "contributing" where my relationship is concerned as at the moment he is paying for everything and i feel "useless"
Empowerment will be a huge thing a sense of self worth : )

maybe make new friends (can't always trust work employees), learn new things, move up in the company, and best of all a paycheck!

I have to redefine this anyway. I agree with the isolating stopping. I would husband the money I get better than I have in the past. Some people work for a source of income to do what they are 'really meant to do', others work as a matter of self expression. I've done the latter and don't know about my abilities with the former. That remains to be seen.

Oh, we did  hear Boris Johnson's tenure ended due to a series of ethics scandals, accusations of dishonesty and a final collapse of government support that forced his recognation. What he didn't do like the...

    88FWhat I do like is early morning clouds and then they disappear and the sun comes out. That was it's cooler in the morning. I'm sitting here looking out the window at the hummingbird with the river and dike as a back drop. It's hard to invision ever leaving but I'm also a realist with aging, especially when the luncheon we had with thirty former classmates on Monday. Sandra, we get news of...
