Having a job is nothing fun; it's full of long shifts, irritated coworkers, and sometimes all the time, there are a few customers who never learned how to be nice to others. Even though it can be a pain missing out on fun stuff or having to do annoying tasks hour after hour, but there are a few perks about having a job that you actually enjoy. Below are five beneficial things work offers me.
1. Having a job gives me a schedule.
I'm the type of person who needs a schedule in order to stay productive. I love my bed and tend to stay in it all day when there's nothing required of me, so by having a work schedule, I relinquish my lazy ways and instead opt for a more effective and energetic attitude.
2. Working gives me something to do.
Summer can get pretty boring, especially when everyone around you has a job. Why not use up some of your free time while also getting paid?
3. Thankfully, I'm being paid for my services.
I will be the first person to admit that I have an online shopping addiction. When I see something I like, I seriously can't stop myself from buying it even though I don't have the funds to afford it. Thankfully, the job I have allows me to feed this addiction void of cards declining and angry parents.
4. I get to interact with all sorts of people.
Since I work at an outlet store, most of the people who visit the store tend to be foreign. It is such a cool experience to interact with people from all over the world and to hear their stories about where they are from and why they decided to visit Florida.
5. Finishing a shift gives me a sense of accomplishment.
There is nothing better than finishing a shift and clocking out. When I make my way out the front doors, I feel I am completely on top of the world and no one can get in my way. I typically work five-hour shifts but they can easily feel like ten-hour shifts. Completing a day of work, especially a busy and stressful one, makes me feel like I can do anything.
