Marx's first writing on the below website on the choice of a profession, which would probably put him at about 17 years old or so, and the need for a profession to imbue one's life with dignity and meaning, seems to set the stage for his later, now almost trite through repetition, statement about workers throwing off their chains.

Pedantic footnote: that essay was written in Latin as an exercise in a course in that language - his teacher's remarks are recorded (he praised the exercise on the whole but had some criticism of certain phraseology).
