What do you look for in your job?

A job with high pay and a lot of autonomy is essential for me. I don't like people telling me what to do and following meaningless rules. Work is merely a way to make money. I work to get money for my pastime.

A job with high pay and a lot of autonomy is essential for me. I don't like people telling me what to do and following meaningless rules. Work is merely a way to make money. I work to get money for my pastime.

1. You expressed yourself well here. There is nothing to correct, so this is an alternative expression we could use in this context - "work serves as a means to earn income"
I understand how you feel and respect your opinion. Most of us want the same thing. The most typical motivation for work is money. Do you have a dream job?

That's true. My opinions are meant to be respected. I know people whose first motivation is money end up contributing to society regardless of their intention because they need their purpose consistent with that of their companies to earn money. Instead, people who put priority on other things often become self-righteous. A security guard of a municipality working to find life worth living sexually harassed me. I don't have any dream job because all dreams come true soon after I want.

I don't have any dream job because all dreams come true soon after I want something.

1. "Want" is a transitive verb here, and such verbs require objects in order to have a meaning. The object "something" was used as an example here.
I am glad to know that you were able to achieve your dream job. However, there is just something that I need to clarify. Did you say that someone sexually harassed you?

I said that. So what?

Sorry, I was just surprised that you mentioned that. Did you tell someone about it or report it to the police?

This system in which a tutor is anonymous makes it hard to communicate, so I often avoid telling personal matters here because that causes misunderstandings and anxiety. I wish I could know at least the gender of the tutor. Well, he appeared to be working part-time as a safety guard. The safety guard should have worked not for his pastime but for money. He said to me, "Nice ass," when I tried to pass through him. I told an official of the municipality.
