Work Permit And Social Security Number

Hurray! I have finally received my work permit. That means I am able to work anytime. Now, I am frantically looking for suitable jobs so that I will not have to face the four walls 24/7. I love my life here but I like it better if I can work and earn income. I believe in this maxim - "we work, therefore we shop". I need retail therapy very badly!

In two weeks' time I will get my social security number. That means I have to start paying income tax once I get a job. I suppose, you can't have the best of both worlds in life. I will be most satisfied if I can find a job that I like. Doesn't everyone have to the same dream too.
