	A group of young people are talking about life and happiness.

How important is a good career for happiness?

	I don't think it is very important. I mean, it is more important to feel happy with yourself, no matter what you are doing, than it is to have a well paid job.
Maria

	A good career is essential for happiness. In today's world you need a good job. People who don't have good jobs are usually unhappy. Everybody wants the best for himself or herself.
Hiro

	If you work just for money, just to buy a beautiful house, to buy expensive jewellery, then I don't think your career will make you happy. But if you work because you want to help others, not just yourself, then I think your career can give you happiness.
Eddie

	I think a good career is really important for happiness. A good career means good money, and good money means more choices in life. I want a good career because I want to give myself a lot of choices.
Svetlana

	We spend most of our lives working, so I believe it is important to enjoy your job. I don't think it is important to be a doctor or a lawyer but it is important to love what you do. If you hate your job you won't be happy.
