Abstract
nowadays, individual feelings and emotions tend to interfere with the work life. In our contemporary society, suffering is now due to a lot of new factors. People now have the opportunity to choose their career plan. When professional plans don't pan out as they expected it to, there may be feelings of disappointment or frustration.This is why this suffering now affects our lives on a daily basis.
But where is this suffering originating from? Actually, people now realize that they don't do what they truly desire for a living. Once, the ones who complained about their way of life were dreamers. Now, everyone wants to live his passion, and work is increasingly becoming a place to realize our dreams. However, we need to identify why people are still not satisfied. It is obviously not that easy to live out one's passion, but according to all the new markets that have emerged in the past few decades, it is becoming easier.
Some reasons have always been the same. For instance, raising a family implies a lot of responsibilities, for instance, able to provide financial support to the family. Having kids implies that you have to take care of them, which represents massive costs. Usually, people don't wait for a settled life before they have kids. Most of the time, they don't really plan it from a financial perspective, and end up being forced to take or keep a job that they necessarily wouldn't keep if they didn't have this kind of responsibilities. Even if people tend to have children later in their lives, young people also have to take care of their parents. Besides, people stay single longer, which is a lot more expensive than being married. Not so long before, people used to get married in their 20s.
Another responsibility that comes with the evolution of our society is the loans. In fact, young people are now contracting loans for paying for studies or apartments. They don't work as young as they used to (because the working market used to be easier to find a job). Instead, they plan to study for at least 2 to 5 years. Most of the time these studies need to be financed, and this is how they end up getting in debt for a few years, needing a wage provider as soon as possible.
