"What Makes a Job Good for You?"

Everyone has different ideas about what makes a job good. For some people, a good job is one that pays well and is secure. For others, it’s about enjoying the work and feeling motivated.

Consider Anna. She loves art and working alone, so being a graphic designer is perfect for her. On the other hand, Mark enjoys meeting people and working in a team, so he chose a career in event planning.

The best job for you depends on your skills, interests, and goals. If you enjoy helping others, jobs like teaching or nursing might be a good fit. If you like solving problems, you could consider engineering or programming.

It’s important to think about what makes you happy and what fits your lifestyle. A good job is not just about money—it’s about doing something you love.
