A big salary is much more important than job satisfaction. Do you agree or disagree?
These days, in general, getting a well-paid
job
is everybody's dream. In addition
, some people
say that money
is the second
god because it literally can provide most of the things in our precious life
. Some argue that job
satisfaction is not as important as earning a big salary. I completely disagree with this
idea and in this
essay, I will support my opinion with relevant examples.
Firstly
, if you were pursuing just for a sake of big money
, you would be less motivated even you are having a massive salary and are forced to work, as you are not willing your profession to be a part of your life
, which will make you unhappy and feeling lost in life
. For instance
, there was a compelling article in New York Times magazine that an employee committed suicide due to depression which is mainly caused by lack of stress management and burden with the job
.
Secondly
, people
should choose a proper industry that they are passionate about. This
is, in fact, vital to be successful in their life
. A survey done by the University of Michigan proves that passion is the essential element that three-quarters of renowned people
in every field have in common. Take Elon Musk as an example. In other words
, this
drives people
's motivation to be engaged consistently with their interests, which in turn leads to satisfaction with their performance and bring victories overtimes. Money
will come by itself later on.
On the other hand
, there is also
an argument that earning a big salary is much more important than job
satisfaction. This
is because they said it can elevate their lifestyle and a sense of financial security. They can have whatever they want such
as buying a luxurious car, owning a stunning house and being able to travel around the world without worrying about money
. Furthermore
, they can support their family and beloved ones without problems.
In conclusion, although
it is a common belief that having a job
that makes a lot of money
is much preferable, I believe it is not the thing entirely we should depend on. In my view, life
is too short and therefore
we should wake up with something meaningful that motivates us every morning and live with the job
we satisfy.Submitted by naing538 on
