Job or money?
Would you quit your job if you didn’t need the money?In a 1990 poll by the Gallop Organization，many people said quitting work was an imprtant reason to be rich．Yet researchers find that work is one of life’s chief satisfactions for people．
Consider W．Berry Fowler．In 1979，Fowler started a tutoring company that became so successful he was able to sell out and retire in 1978一a multimillionaire at 40． He bought a 50-foot cabin cruiser（可住宿的游艇）and a house in Hawaii，and busied himself vacationing．
But after five years of perpetual vacation，nower began to miss the challenges of work．So in 1992，he bought a fitness chain for children and now spends 75 hours a week immersed in balance sheets and staff meetings．“My best days on the golf course weren’t half as much fun as a good day at the office．”he says．
A job，studies show，is more than a paycheck．Doing something Well can increase confidence and self—worth．When sociologist H．Ray Kaplan surveyed 139 lottery（彩票）millionaires，he discovered 60 percent continued working at least a year after they’d won．
If jobs are so important，wouldn’t salary size be a gauge（标准尺）of job satisfaction?Americans think so．A survey conducted last year by Roper Starch Worldwide，Inc．，found that almost 70 percent of the respondents said they would be happier if their families had twice as much household income．Yet studies show that job satisfaction comes less from how much people earn than from the challenge of their jobs and the control they are able to exert．work that doesn’t engage a person will never seem rewarding，no matter how lucative（有理可图的）it becomes．
