Nancy, I don’t think that sounds crazy. It’s good to enjoy what you do.

I work for the obivoius reason to make money. I also enjoy working. I know I must sound crazy. I do. I need purpose in my life a reason to get out of bed in the morning. Yes, my kids are reason enough but I am not a stay at home kind of mom. I too enjoy adult conversation. I feel even if I didn’t need the money I would still do something. I would volunteer to help those less fortunate. My parents ingrained in me that you must be an intergral part of society.

I’m lucky–I’ve spent the past 10+ years working in the non-profit sector, helping my community and communities throughout the world. It drives me nuts a great deal of the time, but it’s extremely rewarding. This isn’t to say that I don’t do my part to move up the salary ladder, etc. and I do my best not to tie my identity to what I do for a living. But at the end of the day, I feel good knowing that I have contributed something to the greater good through my 9-5.

I work not only for the obvious salary and benefits, but also for the camaraderie, and the chance to do something interesting. Plus, I often find good blogging ideas from my job and my coworkers.

I work to maintain my lifestyle and to obtain medical benefits.
