Work in Sweden

Work in shops

During our trip in Linkoping, we interviewed 4 persons who worked in different shops. The first worked in a sport shop called Stadium, the second was cashier, the third was the father of one of our correspondants, a doctor, and the last was a bus driver. Here is the questions we asked :

-Do you think you have good working conditions?

-What are your work hours? Are they the same every day?

-When did you start working?

-Do you have a good salary?

-Are you glad in your work?

-How many years did you study?

They all answered that they had good working conditions, particularly Per Ola, the doctor.

The sport seller worked from 8 am  to 7 pm, the cashier from 7:30 am to 17:30, the doctor from 8 am to 4 pm, the bus driver from 7 am to 4:30 pm and he was very pleased beacause he wasn't working on evening and week end.

He began to wark at  20, after his military service, the cashier at 19, just after high school, the doctor at 28 after his studies of medicine and the seller at 25 years old.

All of them were pleased of  their salary except the cashier.

All of them liked their job, particulary Per-Ola and the bus driver .

The bus drviver didn't study, the cashier too, the doctor studied 9 years, and the seller 3 years.

This experience was very interesting and we had interesting conversations with them. This experience offer us a new vision of the work : indeed, the work in Sweden seems very pleasing.
