Some people argue that job satisfaction is more important than job security, while others believe that they cannot always expect job satisfaction, and a permanent job is more important. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

It is argued by some that

job

security is not as important as how satisfied we feel with what we do, whereas others believe that we should do a

job

that frees us from unemployment stress and ensures we have a stable income. I am personally in favour of the viewpoint of the

first

group. People who like the idea of doing a permanent

job

say that, in today’s cut-throat labour market where thousands of new graduates face unemployment annually, staying in the same

job

is a much safer choice than switching jobs to find

job

satisfaction. The combination of the increasingly competitive

job

market and the rising cost of living means that

job

security has become the most important consideration for

job

seekers. Many people experience temporary unemployment after quitting their previous jobs to look for new ones that offer a higher level of

job

satisfaction. For those who are

primary breadwinners

Suggestion

the primary breadwinners

,

this

is a risky decision. Despite the above arguments, I feel that we should never stop looking for jobs that make us happy and fulfilled. I personally believe that no matter how competitive the labour market is, there are always enough jobs for everyone. Spending several months or even a year seeking a rewarding

job

is much better than spending a lifetime stuck in a

job

that we are reluctant to do just because it is safe and stable. My grandfather,

for example

, has always regretted not following the photography career that he would have loved to have had;

instead

, he chose to be a teacher because of a stable monthly

paycheck

. In conclusion,

although

some argue that a secure

job

is more important than a satisfying

job

, I am of the opinion that we should always look for a

job

that brings us happiness and fulfilment rather than stability.
