Why do people work?

People work to earn money, to get what they need, and to feel useful.

People earn money by working. They use this money to get things they need, like food, a home, clothes, and school. Without work, it would be very hard to get these things.

Working is not just about money. People feel happy when they do a job they love. A doctor feels happy because they help sick people get better. A teacher feels happy because they teach children new things.

Every job helps other people. A baker makes bread, a farmer grows vegetables, and a doctor helps us get better. When everyone works, life is better for everyone.

Working makes people feel good. You feel proud when you finish a task or achieve something. When you grow up, you will choose your own job too, and it will help both you and other people.
