The most important consideration when choosing any job or career is having a high income. To what extent extent do you agree?

It has been opined by many individuals that higher remuneration should be the main focus on choosing a work. I partially agree to it because other factors
such
as
health
and a
work-life
balance
are equally important. To commence with, of course,

as food, housing, medical is becoming expensive and many people die out of hunger. It has

.
For instance
, the cost of
health
and food has gradually increased in many places in India in these years,
as a result
of which people are selecting higher pay jobs and sometimes doing part-time jobs along with their full-time to earn their living as well as supporting their families.
On the other hand
, earning a higher income is not sufficient. There should be a proper
work-life
balance
and a healthy lifestyle because if people do not take care of their
health
, it will become difficult for them to concentrate on their work and show excellent results in their jobs. It has been found that most companies which offer higher pay compromise on the
health
of their employees. The individuals skip meals, sleep late at night and do not get enough time to exercise to keep their bodies fit.
As a result
, they get exposed to a lot of diseases like diabetes, constipation.
Also
, they are not able to invest much time for their families
as a result
of spending long hours in offices.
For instance
, in most of the call-centre jobs in India, people are leading an unhealthy lifestyle because of huge work-pressure and intense level of stress.
However
, the organization should take care of it. They should provide their employees with proper facilities like holiday's on weekends, fixed working hours, exercising facilities in their offices and organize special tours so that they can relax well before starting their upcoming assignments in their respective offices.
Therefore

although
people select higher paying jobs for a good reputation as well as supporting themselves as well as their families when prices of goods and services are becoming expensive, a

with a proper

is
also
a good idea because it will help in maintaining

Word Count

IELTS says that you should write a minimum of 250 words in writing task 2. If you go under word count you will lose marks in task response.

A very long essay will not give you a higher band score.

Aim for between 260 to 290 words in writing task 2. This will ensure a concise essay and will be realistic in terms of time management. You have only 40 minutes to write the essay and you need around 10 minutes of planning time, so you will not be able to write a long essay in 30 minutes.
