I'm still young, of course I live to work to explore the meaning of life. But I know when I get older I will work to live.

I work to live my life fully, to provide food/shelter/entertainment to my family. In addition to that, to do my part to help this society/country to keep strong and healthy.

... and yes I am fortunate and I enjoy my work.

the majority of people here work 12 hour days 6 days a week. and would answer this question like this? dream on people. Japan is made up of people who would not know what to do with themselves if they weren't at work or school.

Next question: Are you hard at work, or hardly working?

And what about house-wives and house-husbands? How should they answer?

I value time higher than money because ultimately time is something you never can get back. It trickles down second by second and your amount of time becomes less and less. Money helps life but if you have no time left besides work, you have no life!

Neither, I live how I want to live...

Right now I'm not working, just living! But I've always had work that I enjoyed and if I didn't like a job, I soon quit. Life is too short to spend time doing something you don't like to do!!

I work as a hobby. I sleep to live, otherwise I'd never close the eyes. I live to have fun and eat.

if I were an F1 driver, porn star, astronaut, extreme skier I would live to work...but alas those jobs are beyond my reach so I join the majority who work to live.

I work so that I can have fun on the weekends ;)

Doesn't mean I don't enjoy work... but... my weekends + family are more important than work.

Dear, oh, dear. I'm one of the 16% who live to work. What am I doing wrong? I must have a word to my boss to let me go home earlier and pay me more.

What do you consider work,in the future will be,in relation to your field of work.
