Depends of what job we are talking about. In general, I think the most important aspect is making money, because people need it to survive. After that, I think social status and power are much important in a job, because people have a need to be recognized. It's my point of view.

I think it is communication. For example my boss and I have not been communicating very well, so I am very frustrated with his atitudes. I know that I am the best he can gets, but he hasn't treated that well, so I am planning to leave the company the sooner the better.

Complementing the options:

- working on your own x dependence on other people
- no schedule,
- opportunity to travel to other cities or countries,
- freedom to create,
- it requires talent and creativity,
- etc.

Mili,

Some very minor suggestions, if I may.

"... attitudes (spelling) ... he can get (singular) ... treated me (add a subject for treated) ... company, the sooner (add comma)..."

Your construction is excellent, and except for the minor corrections absolutely correct. I am assuming when you typed this post that you were somewhat upset and distracted by your current circumstances.

Some people work laughing all day, some work so sad, some get stressed everyday, some have to think think and think...

For me.. there must be equilibrium, and some places are developing ways to do it, maybe some more coffee breaks or gym breaks.

My job, as a future programmer (developer) maybe, will be stressing i guess :)

But what job has no problems, huh..

I intend to make money, but I will be very carefull and will take care of my family a lot... it's just hard to have a father who leaves before you wake up and returns after you go bed, and this is also some aspect which has to do with the place you work 'cause they have to care about your personal life too.

Once I heard someone talking to my ex-boss:
someone: Bete, when was the last time you saw your baby?
Bete: awake? on Sunday!

It was THURSDAY, and her baby was less than 2 years old. When I heard that I promised myself that I wouldn't be like that.
Hello everyone,

I have a little doubt about the initial sentence "What are the most important...", is it correct? Is it possible to use the word "Which" instead of "What"?

Hey tbellof,

This is a question you could post on "Dúvidas de gramática" =)

Anyways...

It would be okay to put "which" instead because Flávia gave you options, but "what" works fine in the sentence because she doesn't ask you to choose one of those, she let's you develop your own ideas.

_________________________

And Oh, nice to hear that Flávia, you grasped the idea... it's really important not to care just about a job. =)
Hello guys!

Very good question Flávia.

In my opinion the most important aspect in a job is the pleasure (like you've already said). There is no reason to work with something that you don't like and it's very bad having to go to the work thinking: "Oh no, one more day!".

After that, there are others importants aspects to make the ambience where you work better. On a Radio Station here from my city, named as Rádio Itatiaia, everyday they usually say into a propaganda: Do some things to make your work ambience better. When you arrive at work say "Good Day!" for others persons, be thankful when you be helped, etc.

Very interesting, don't it?

Well, now I would like to share an opinion with Jackson.

I'm currently working on this area too and I can say, in my opinion, is not very stressful at all, but is hard because you will always work with results. All the time you need to show things working!

And another point of this area is that you always need to keep learning new things. Everyday you learn something new! It's a vicious cycle. I like this, it's always good to share knowledge and learn with other professionals.

See you.
In my opinion Flavia's list while excellent and rather complete did not include the most important aspect of any job or endeavor and that aspect is honesty. One must always be honest with yourself and beliefs, your supervisor and company, as well as your clients or customers. For without honesty any endeavor or relationship that you attempt will in reality be built on a weak foundation and will be susceptible to failure.

However one should always be tactful when dealing with others, and sometimes it can be very difficult to be both honest and tactful. If you can not be both in any situtation then honesty must prevail over tact.

First of all, it has to give you pleasure!
I really believe that learning more and interacting with people are essential in a workplace. Especially when we spend a lot of time at work.

I think that one of the most important things to me is "if I'm happy". :)

I think the most important aspect in a job is making money.
We have to live and living cost a lot :lol:
But we have the right to be happy.
So we work to have money to make us happy.
And in the global capitalism the happiness are electronics things.
And electronics things need money to get it.
So we have return to the initial point "money" a lot of money.
And to get this money you have to work.
And we will work in any place good or bad because we need this job.
This is my point about this topic.
Best Regards.
