Myths of Working. This essay describes the primary myths of working and the false beliefs about employment in America. America is founded on a work ethic: "work hard and ye shall prosper." However, the work ethic is not the great key to success and personal growth that it is touted to be. Often work is drudgery people cannot escape; little more than a mechanism of survival with no hope for the future, but the myths about working continue to perpetuate themselves. Why do these myths continue? There are many possible answers, but the most likely is the simple survival of the society and a reason for the worker to get up in the morning. If the average worker recognized the myths associated with work he probably would not move much farther than the remote control for the television or the distance from the front door to the mailbox to pick up a welfare check. However, for the time being, work myths reign supreme and the same basic false ideals remain strong and the working society will probably continue to perpetuate these ten basic myths for some time to come.
