Question 5 (continued)

Simplified characters:

打工或者创业?
时代变了,人们的职业规划也发生了变化。

有人认为人活着就得做一番事业。自己创业,刚好满足了这个愿望。创业的
过程虽说是艰难困苦,但是一旦成功,不仅经济上可以打个翻身仗,而且你的生
活品质也可以得以提升。比如,那些白手起家,在电商业取得巨大成功的企业家,
如果当时只是安分守己,为别人打工,他们怎能取得今天的成就呢?因此,有人
认为,打工是没有前途的。毕竟,工字不出头嘛!

然而,有人认为当个打工者也挺好的。由于不是自己当老板,打工者不用事
事躬亲,更不必在下班后还操心公司的事务,也不必承担太多的责任。因此,工
作之余,他们更有时间培养个人的兴趣和爱好,从而提高生活情趣。而且,打工
者可以用自己的付出直接取得工薪回报,他们没有创业的风险和守业的艰辛,何
乐而不为呢?

总之,不同的人对职业规划的观点和态度会有不同。你的想法呢?
