see i ask this question, because im at the age of 18, and ive left my job working in a shop where i got like 5.00 uk an hour, and i really loved it, and was really great at it, and my boss said i could easily get premoted. but now im in a apprentiship, which means i get like 3 uk pounds an hour, because im learning a trade. im doing joinery. now dont get me wronge, i mainly just watch and am just there as a labour, and lift what needed and hold whats needed. but after my 4 years im on like 12.00uk an hour. and can just about fix anything. im just really bored at work right now because im in my first year and im just sitting back and watching.not only are the people at my work ass holes the donthave much time for me either i think. so im wanting to keep it up for 4 years but its going to be hard.

its kinda hit me hard. cause 2 years ago i was at school, where they were talking about me takeing law, history, cause i enjoyed these and was good at them. getting a bit stressed about it now, but it will be ok after the 4 years i think.

a means to an end

I agree.

That "end" can mean having your own pad, buying necessities or luxury items, being able to provide for your loved ones, self-sufficiency...

don't think anyone loves work, sure ya can enjoy what ya do for a living...
but if we could, I'm sure we would go w/out.

I voted the first one.

I don't like the saying, "means to an end." It implies that at the "end" I'm going to attain something. When in fact, I've already attained it.

Work is a means to a means.

strangebrew meant to say:

"work usually means all inputs filled, 5 times a day, 7 days a week"
