Nowadays almost the most important one of the personal prestige criteria is regarded as the success in working life. Therefore, the working life is leading in basic communal institutions to have an important role and place in the community and reflect existing potential. The working life has an important place in human life, because one third of the human life passes by working and in this activity the individual sustains the continuity of his/her life. By working the individual not only earns monetary gain, but also has moral gains with the issues such as becoming happy, successful and satisfied from the work s/he accomplishes. Due to the fact that the working life affects the individual’s relations with the community and communal position, the encountered problems affect the individual’s whole life negatively.
