YES -IT MATTERS WHERE YOU WORK -RATHER, YOUR JOB SHOULD NOT BRING YOU INTO CONFLICT WITH THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD. ANYTHING THAT IS NOT OF FAITH IS SIN (ROM 14:23) -IF WHAT YOU DO TROUBLES YOUR CONSCIENCE, DON'T DO IT -BUT OFTEN THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WHAT WE BELIEVE AND THE TRUTH, SO WHAT IS AGAINST YOUR CONSCIENCE SHOULD CHANGE WITH YOUR LEVEL OF UNDERSTANDING OF THE WILL OF GOD. CLEAR EXAMPLES OF THIS ARE JOBS WHICH MIGHT REQUIRE THAT YOU TAKE A HUMAN LIFE -POLICEPERSON, SOLDIER, ETC... THE FOLLOWING VERSE... Luk 3:14 And the soldiers likewise demanded of him, saying, And what shall we do? And he said unto them, Do violence to no man, neither accuse any falsely; and be content with your wages.
...ESSENTIALLY SAYS THOU SHALT NOT KILL, BEAR FALSE WITNESS OR COVET. HOWEVER, MANY BELIEVE THE VIOLENCE PART DOES NOT INCLUDE GOVERNMENT-SANCTIONED INSTANCES SUCH AS A SOLDIER OR POLICEMAN MIGHT ENCOUNTER. GOD IS CLEAR ON THE SUBJECT -BUT MEN DISAGREE. ONE CAN BE AGAINST THE WILL OF GOD, BUT STILL HAVE A CLEAR CONSCIENCE -AND ONE'S CONSCIENCE CAN BE TROUBLED BY WHAT GOD WOULD HARDLY CONSIDER. ANOTHER CLEAR EXAMPLE IS WORKING ON A DAY GOD REQUIRES THAT HIS FOLLOWERS NOT WORK -HIS SABBATHS -THE WEEKLY SABBATH AND HOLY DAYS -AGAIN -NOT ALL MEN AGREE, BUT SOME BELIEVE THIS IS THE MOST CLEAR SIGN THAT ONE HAS NOT RECEIVED THE MARK OF THE BEAST, AS BOTH ARE IN THE FOREHEAD AND HAND (See "COUNCIL OF LAODICEA IN PHRYGIA PACATIANA 364 A.D., REV 13:16, EXO 13:9&16, DEU 6:8 & 11:18). NOT ALL INSTANCES ARE CLEAR, BUT GOD IS AVAILABLE TO TEACH US HIS WILL IF WE ASK IN FAITH, IN THE NAME OF HIS SON, WITH AN OPEN MIND. GOD KNOWS MEN WILL DISAGREE, AND THAT WE CANNOT BECOME PERFECT IN UNDERSTANDING OR ACTION INSTANTLY... IN FACT, HE PURPOSEFULLY MADE IT SO THAT A FULL UNDERSTANDING COULD ONLY BE GAINED BY IN-DEPTH STUDY (ISAIAH 28:9-13) AND DIRECTION FROM GOD ( HAVING GOD'S SPIRIT WITH -THEN IN -ONE IS QUITE IMPORTANT, ALSO, BUT THAT IS ANOTHER TOPIC FULL OF DISAGREEMENT AMONG MEN), SO DO NOT SEAR YOUR CONSCIENCE, AND CONTINUALLY STUDY AND PRAY TO GAIN A DEEPER UNDERSTANDING OF THE WILL OF GOD. ALSO KNOW THAT OBEYING GOD WILL CAUSE MANY TO HAVE TO DECREASE THEIR STANDARD OF LIVING, WHEN POPULAR UNDERSTANDING EQUATES MONETARY GAIN AS PROOF POSITIVE OF BLESSING FROM GOD (REV 13:17)

It all depends on where you work!

Where do you work?

If you work in an abortion clinic then NO God would not want you working there.

If you work selling porn, NO God would not want you there.

etc.....

You would need to give more information.
