Big salary is much more important than job satisfaction. Do you agree or disagree ? Provide relevant examples if necessary.

#salary #job #satisfaction
It is often said that feeling great at a
job
 is not as important as having a good
salary
, but it is not necessarily true all the time. When
people
 enjoy their
job
 normally they are more motivated in what they do,
that is
 why it is more likely that they progress in it.
On the other hand
, having a big
salary
 allows
people
 to have a lot of things
such
 as houses, travels among others.
First
 of all, receiving a big
salary
 for most
people
 could be an enormous motivation and the most important thing when they are looking for a
job

 they could buy a house for their children, go on vacation to another country, go to restaurants and other luxuries that other
people
 can't do. But
on the other hand
 and normally these
people
 are on high levels of stress and pressure.
However
 when
people
 enjoy what they do and find satisfaction in their
job
 they feel great and normally their progress is more often than the
people
 who do not have it, and progress at the end means more money. Having said that, satisfaction in the workplace is more important than a big
salary
 because
people
 are less stressed out, having a great time and receiving money for that. Even though there are some positive aspects about receiving a big
salary
,
people
 should think more about feeling great about what they do for a living, because probably they could have more opportunities through their professional lives.
