throughout their entire life. In

this

essay, I will discuss the reasons for

this

phenomenon and the result of

such

an attitude towards

work

.

To begin

with, most individuals have certain aspirations and dreams at an early age but due to parental and societal pressure, those dreams can never manage to pick up wings.

Consequently

, a

person

is dictated to follow a certain career path

that is

not of his own choosing.

Furthermore

, with the progression of age, responsibilities pile up and the individual is pushed into a

job

, which is not to his liking.

For instance

, because music or art is not considered to be a lucrative career, many teenagers are pushed into a STEM career

such

as engineering, despite having no

interest

in the subject. Even though the

person

knows that he lacks the requisite skills for the

work

, he continues to dwell on it due to monetary compensation. A prolonged continuation of working in a

does have certain consequences.

Firstly

, the

person

is always in a state of agitation and mental unrest. Rather than being content with his

work

, there is a void of not pursuing his dream. When a

person

is frustrated at

work

, there is a possibility of venting out the anger on family and friends, despite no fault of theirs.

Secondly

, the individual is not the lone sufferer, the employer is

also

a loss as the employee performs below his level of competency in comparison to his peers.

For instance

, a

person

who has no inclination towards science can never reach his full potential in an engineering

job

. In conclusion, people continue in jobs with little

interest

due to societal responsibilities but it pushes them towards feeling trapped and mental instability which is not good for their wellbeing as well as the wellbeing of their family members.
