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

#people #job #satisfaction #security
To be satisfied or to be secured in a
job
? Selecting a
career
 path in today’s world is a difficult dilemma everyone might face
one
 day. People today are divided: some say that having a
job
 that makes them happy is more important than having a stable
one
, while some others think the complete opposite. In
this
 essay, we will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of these two different opinions and why having a permanent and stable
career
 is the superior choice. Being satisfied in a
job
 is a gift in itself. To be able to make a living, while
also
 satisfying yourself doing the things you love is amazing. Though the fact that people tend to overlook is the amount of money they make might not be enough to sustain themselves. Take

Accept comma addition
art, for
for example
, the majority of individuals who work in
this
 particular field chose
this
job
 because they are passionate about it. But we cannot deny the fact that a lot of people in
this
 field are not successful due to the fact that their financial security depends entirely on the customers’ tastes in art at any point in time.
On the other hand
, being financially secured is
also
 a major advantage in life. We
first
 have to acknowledge that to have a balanced life, we have to make a stable flow of income and having a permanent
career
 is
one
 way to do that. Not only that, if we cannot financially sustain ourselves, there is no purpose in working a
job
 that makes us ‘happy’. As we can see, both opinions regarding
career
 choices have their own pros and cons. Though, we
also
 see that, in order to have a balanced life, making a stable living is an essential element we could not avoid.
However
, choosing only
one
 choice between these two is not the only option. As we could take into account both opinions and make a choice that best suits our lives.
