Work Life - Journal 3

Work is interesting and engaging in Friedendorf. Right when you turn 10 years old, you begin the process of studying from someone who is a master at the career you want to pursue. After about 5-10 years, depending on the complexity of the career and the skills necessary, you will be let into the workforce as a fully equipped individual. This process ensures that every person is working in the economy and gives people hobbies that aren’t only fun and interesting, but stable as well. If you were forced your job and didn’t have a say in what you were allowed/not allowed to do, then you wouldn’t work your hardest or have any motivation. In Friedendorf, we work our hardest because of the kind of work we do. We have motivation because we want to become better at our job.

New positions are always open because Friedendorf is always regulating and creating new types of jobs, due to the advances in technology. Some people like two jobs and cannot decide on a single one. These people can work and train in both careers and split the time in half between the two careers.

Once you find the job you want, most people stick to that for a very long time. If you do decide to switch, the process is hard and challenging. You can do it, but it definitely takes time and patience. When you hit 60 years old you are legally allowed to retire from your job. If you work outside of Friedendorf, then you may retire at 50 years old. I hear you may also apply to retire at 45 years as well, but you must be extremely talented in what you did over your years of work.
