Discussion
A lot of the Americans said that a good job was one that was fun. The French never used "fun" as part of their criteria for a job. Instead, they wanted a job that they could feel passionate about. I like the idea of bringing passion into the workplace. Perhaps in a way the American fun and the French passion are the same thing; basically they mean that the job will get them excited, be enjoyable and all that. To the French students: do you agree? What do you think is the difference between passion and fun? I guess the biggest difference is that various activities can be fun (enjoyable), even if you don't feel a deep passion for them. Maybe the French want a more meaningful sort of enjoyment.
What I found is that both the French and the Americans were interested in jobs
that payed well. I didn't notice that the Americans were especially interested
in jobs that were "fun", like Cecilia says. Instead I noticed that the French
were more interested in jobs that were interesting or where they could make use
of their skills, while the Americans were more interested in jobs that were
challenging or rewarding, where it may be backbreakingly difficult to complete
but the joy of the work was in the accomplishment. I don't know exactly what to
make of this. This may say that Americans like taking on jobs which they might
not be fully qualified for, they are more ambitious, or they like attempting
the impossible while the French want a job where they won't be as stressed and
they can make proper use of their talents for society.
Americans are especially driven to make their individual mark in the workplace. Promotion and recognition are of prime importance, and people tend to grow restless in their jobs if they don't feel that they are "moving up" to tasks with increasing amounts of responsibility as time goes on. I wonder if the French are naturally more content with their work, not quite as obsessed with professional development and more concerned with true personal fulfillment.
