~ Why and how does an individual’s position in the world economy depend on the function he/she performs in it?

There is one thing in the world that everyone wants, money. Every since being a little child, everyone in the world wishes they had millions of dollars so they can just relax and enjoy the world. One way to have that is by working for it. In today’s world if you want to make the big dollars, you have to work for it. The harder and better you perform at your job, the more money you will make. For example, let’s pretend there is a money tree, the harder and better you perform, the higher you can go up and more money you can receive. In today’s world people can not receive a well paying job without having a college degree. Unless your family already has earned themselves a name in this world, everyone else has to earn it. A business or company wants the best working for them. Once you are in, the harder you work, the better chance you have at moving up the food chain. The best example I can think of is the movie “pursuit of happiness”. The guy went from having nothing, to working hard and being great at his career. People in today’s world have to realize that if you want to be rich or successful in your life time, you have to earn it. Find something you know you would be good at, and exercise it. That is how you can separate your self for everyone else that is how you become successful.
