Which do you prefer: a high-paying job with long hours or a lower-paying job with shorter hours? Use specific reasons and details to support your answer.
In this modern era, everyone wants a big house and a car for which a huge amount is needed. This will lead people to work for long hours because the salary is good with these types of jobs. But I would prefer a low-paying job with shorter hours because then I will have time for myself and there will be fewer health issues. I will have enough time for my family as well.
