It is common for work or employment to be called a work occupation.
Occupation is a term that comes from the Latin occupatio and is linked to the verb to occupy (to appropriate something, to reside in a home, to arouse someone's interest). The concept is used as a synonym for work , labor or chore .
For example: "Carpentry is my main occupation, although I am also a painter" , "If you don't study, you should at least have an occupation" , "I would like to have an occupation that pays well" .
Occupation is also that which makes it impossible to carry out a different action : "I would like to come and say hello to you, but I am very busy" , "I have so many occupations that I no longer remember the last time I was able to go to the park to sunbathe" .
Occupation in civil law and in the military field
In civil law , occupation is the natural procedure to achieve possession of something that has no owner. This action implies the material capture of the property in question to convey the intention to obtain ownership: "We have proceeded to occupy these idle lands more than ten years ago, and now we hope that the State recognizes our right as owners."
Military occupation , finally, consists of placing an army in certain lands that, according to international law, do not belong to the State to which said armed forces respond. This occupation can take the form of defending or condemning a political cause or ideology. There are also occupations that are developed to preserve peace or as a result of a process of invasion or conquest.
According to law , military occupation does not grant the sovereignty of the region to the person carrying out the occupation, but it is mandatory for the occupier to maintain security and order.
When a person loses his job, he becomes unemployed.
The unemployment
Unemployment, also known as unemployment, is a term in everyday use in countries considered third world, where the percentages of people without work have historically been very high, which results in a worrying level of stress and dissatisfaction . This, which until a few years ago was seen from a comfortable and carefree position by some, has become a situation that afflicts the entire world.
This problem has more reasons than meets the eye, and that some people are only beginning to accept as the work situation becomes more desperate. In principle, given that the majority of people train to carry out only a handful of trades and professions, existing for several generations, it can be said that there are an excessively high number of lawyers, accountants and teachers, to name just three of the most popular elections.
As if this were not enough, only a small portion of these people feel a vocation for the career they have chosen, and probably not all of them have great talent, which leaves us with an even smaller number.
Art as an occupation
On the other hand, those who choose unusual paths, such as writing, acting or music , are seen as dreamers condemned to a life of instability and economic deprivation . Art is associated with monetary failure, because it is believed that only those who achieve fame can live from their passions. In the same way, there is the general perception that by studying computer science you have a guaranteed future; In reality, although there are more programmer positions available than poets, success is usually reserved for the most capable and innovative, who are usually self-taught.
In conclusion, in a world where the inhabitants received a flexible education , which encouraged them to think and choose for themselves , there would be a greater professional variety and respect for all disciplines, which would eliminate reluctance, lack of vocation and surely would end unemployment.
