In “Life Without Principle,” Thoreau argues that work should be something we love in order to lead a life worth living, not just earning his life. "The aim of the worker should be, not to earn his living, to get 'a good job', but to do a certain job well and, even in a pecuniary sense, it would be an economy for a city to pay its workers so well. workers that they would not feel that way; they worked for modest purposes, such as simply to earn a living, but for scientific, or even moral, purposes. Don't hire a man who does your job for money, but one who does it for love. » Thoreau is able to obtain. his readers agree with him because he appeals to our idealistic notions that it would be nice to love every minute of life, including work. However, Thoreau does not take into account people living in poverty, worrying about things such as paying rent and working. find money to buy children's clothes or school supplies. It's almost naive to conclude that to live a fulfilling life we ​​must follow our own path to find what we truly love and then work to achieve it. How can he forget that there are people who do not have such freedom and who have to accept a job because it comes with a salary? As a university student what can I think and believe about a world without any profit if I pay to university or after finishing in government if you received a loan for sure I study what I want to and I think I would love to do it for the rest of my life but that's me, my opinion, my situation. In my case I want to run my own engineering company, be "the one in charge", that's what I would like to do but I'm pretty sure I won't do what I want or like since the first day after I left. the university. Life is about sacrifice and... middle of paper ...... clearly, it's nice to think about the possibility of living doing what we love to do but it's not a universal possibility although Thoreau talks about industrial workers, he doesn't seem to understand them, is it difficult for a rich person or even a normal person to imagine what the poor have to do and what do they sacrifice because of their conditions and that they have to work, work and work because if they don't they will starve. I am not rich but I am not poor but I have seen up close what poor people suffer and how if we see graduates claiming lack of employment, imagine all those who have no diploma, Thoreau -he forgot There are people who do not have such freedom and who must accept a job because it comes with a salary? I really think he did, although it is a good principle but it cannot be a universal principle..
