The ideal job of helping people by being a non-profit worker and making changes in our society is not always ideal because financial and personal gain often it's not enough. In this career choice, high salaries are not often a key factor and the rewards are not always material. Most workers will work long hours, and personal investment can lead to heartbreak, disappointment, and ultimately burnout. Recent studies have shown that low pay and long hours are some of the main reasons why few nonprofit workers expect to stay in this type of work throughout their careers. Additionally, there are even fewer desires to become leaders of nonprofit organizations, as shared by Solomon: “Also, according to the survey, 45% of nonprofit workers expect their next job will not be at a charity, but in the government or in business” which was conducted by Mr. Solomon, CEO of Alumni Engagement at Teach for America, a New York organization (Preston para. 3). This further confirms that although many people believe in helping people and making changes in our society, this is not always their ideal long-term career choice. Many outreach programs are primarily non-profit, which adds another strain on potential employees seeking this type of work. There are few government programs willing to invest in young people interested in starting a new organization. Young visionaries who want to work in this field are often rejected because of their age, says Ms. Lublin, CEO of Do Something, a nonprofit organization. He continues to express: “It's not always the best idea to start your own business”, when trying to get involved in startup programs it's better to join someone else's idea before you diverge... halfway through the paper. .....don't always be ideal for others. Some workers are destined to reach the workforce for more personal gain, while others are destined to reach less personal gain with an overall concept of giving back to the community. However, what really matters is what is ideal for some (you and me) is not always ideal for others. Works Cited Griffin, Amanda. Personal interview. July 26, 2011.Jones, Pamela K.
