Work is a blessing

I recently read Russell Honore's story of part of his life titles "Work is a Blessing". He talks about growing up, working seven days a week as a boy, watching his father and grandfather work endless hours to make virtually no money. When he asks he father why he should work so many hours a week and receive only the bare minimum to survive his father tells him, "to work is a blessing". That stayed with Honore for the rest of his life, as he always kept in mind that it is better to have a job you don't like then to not have a job at all.
While I agree with this statement, I also believe that it is important to have a job that you enjoy. You want to be able to start a career in something you are passionate about and enjoy waking up for every morning, otherwise your life is not going to be enjoyable. Working is a necessity to survive, everyone needs to earn a income in some way so that they can afford the essentials to live. So while I agree that it is a blessing to work considering some have a lot of trouble finding jobs, I think that while you work, you should be looking for another job in a field that you enjoy, if you aren't currently working for that.
Like Russell's father, my father told me something similar. He told me that, "it is important to have a career in something that interests you, and that you enjoy. If you don't enjoy your job, then every morning is going to be miserable, and every night after work is going to be miserable". So while I agree it is a blessing to work, I also believe that you should look for a job that you truly enjoy.
