If you were financially independent, would you continue to work?
I'd continue to
write.... but only at home and at my leisure.
Fisch,

Preston, CT USA
If it was something
I enjoyed, probably.
Aly,
17
Cardiff, UK
Yes, but I'd probably
cut back my hours a whole lot.
Ryan,
29
Morton, IL USA
I can't imagine
not doing something. I might have more liesure to involve myself in things
that do not compensate financially.
Felicia,
36
Lowell, MA USA
I think I'd continue
to volunteer--volunteers are sorely needed everywhere.
Jill,
61
Saylorsburg, PA USA
Yes. I wouldn't
work where I am now but I'd like to work somewhere where I have some responsibility
and feel that what I'm doing is important. Those things aren't present
in my current place of employment.
Reba,
57
Gaithersburg, MD USA
Isn't the idea
of working to MAKE myself financially independent? Anyway, if I were rich
I might till do proofreading and writing, but I wouldn't be doing customer
service.
Karen,
23
Ames, IA USA
I'd continue to
take on projects, but would do more traveling between them.
Jane,
63
West Linn, OR USA
Nope, I'd do my
arts/painting/quilting and do volunteer work.
Janet,
45
E. Brunswick, NJ USA
Yes, but I would
not work for anyone else. I would write and I would travel and I would
work on my own schedule.
Cindy,
41
VA USA
Yes. I like the
work that I do and I like my boss and the people that I work with.
Cathie,
53
Novi, MI USA
Of course... I
can not not work...I have to work...I may be stuck doing brain dead work
until the day I croak...but at least I am good at doing brain dead work...

I would absolutely
not work in my current industry. However, if I were able to study more
about the things that really interested me, I could see myself working
in those areas. Because to me,
working can be more than just a way to get the bills paid or to buy luxuries.
The money earned can go to help disadvantaged people who don't have the
same opportunities to study and earn. And working in a job that is personally
satisfying, or having your own business, can be a great
part of a balanced life.

why on earth would
i? i work at burger king. i'd go get a tan or something and become a killer
guitarist.
A-dog,
19
McMinneville, OR USA
Probably, some
low paying job that I would truly love. Then again, maybe not, I can think
of a lot of "low priority" jobs that need to get done around
the house. Or just go from a job to a job. Burger King, Lord & Taylor.....
K-Mart(ortherwise known as the Big K).....etc and just screw off all the
time..... !!!! But, really I don't know, until posed with the issue. And
it is a big choice to me.

I'm a Baptist minister
and would certaintly continue to work until such time as I discerned it
was God's time to stop. I have promised to God that I would work in my
present pastorate for a certain
number of years but if I were (to become) financially independant I might
seek another ministry afterwards. I suspect that many might answer this
question in a way which reflects how much actual job satisfaction they
have.
David,

It depends on whether
or not I liked my current job. I would probably stop working and go as
far as my Master's Degree at school and then work part-time. The rest
of the time, I would spend travelling and learning things about other
countries. I would like to learn more about archeology.
Melodi,
19
Gahanna, OH USA
Heck no. Id go
back to school ful time forever.
Talia,
25
Tallahassee, FL USA
Yes, I would. I
worked for almost five years as a $100/week volunteer.
Laura,
37
Lowell, MA USA
I probably wouldn't
do what I do now, but I'd love to own my own business! I think I'd be
bored if I just sat at home all day :)
Tracy,
24
Ocean City, NJ USA
I don't think so.
I'll probably never know for sure.
Firelady,
24
Frisco, TX USA
I don't think I
would. If I find myself bored, I would take up a hobby or shop.
Stephanie,
25
TX USA
Maybe, but probably
for myself doing something more satisfying, or I'd work a volunteer job.
But I'd also probably work a lot less.
Keri-Jade,
23
Brampton, Ontario CANADA
Yes,
I don't think that I could do nothing all day. My brain would turn to
mush.
KarenNJ,
25
Milltown, NJ USA
Not
so bad. But then again, I believe that everybody's got their somethin'
Keri-Jade,
23
Brampton, Ontario CANADA
Yes.
I like having something to do with my day, and not having a job would
be so terribly mundane for me. Provided that I like my job, I'd continue
working.
