In the world we live in today, money is the lifeblood of society. It can bring you comfort and security, or lack of it can bring you strife and worry. There are thousands of ways to earn money, but they are not for all people. Some are better suited towards being part of a larger structure such as a large business. There is a great amount of support available from being in a corporation and there is always the prospect of moving up the ladder. History is full of men and women who have started at the bottom rung and become millionaires later in life. Some people just don't like having a boss. They would rather be unemployed than work in a white collar job, and so they tend more towards internet business, working from home, or running local events. Depending on how business orientated your mind is, there is a wide field of options. If you can understand the fast paced, high stakes world of the stock market, then you can earn tremendous amounts of money buying and selling shares. If you have a more practical mind, then there are vast amounts of money available in labour such as steel work. If you are n empathic person then maybe social work would be right for you, helping people for a living. Money controls our lives in the western world. People will kill for it, steal it and beg for it. However, without money, we would have a hard time, as it allows so much freedom. The crucial point of money is that it holds a value without having a second function. Trading by swapping items would be very difficult indeed. We use banknotes and coins for most of our money. Banknotes are held as an imperfect form of money as they actually lose value on a very small scale, and it is technically not money but rather a promise to pay money. We increasingly use electronic money, i.e. wire transfers and internet transfers as this system is quick and does not require physical money. In any case earning money is the key to survival in the modern world, both a tool that liberates us and a chain that binds us.
