Band 7

Some people argue that it is more important to have an enjoyable job than to earn a lot of money. Others disagree and think that a good salary leads to a better life.

#people #job #money #salary #life
Nowadays, most communities go to college and university to study a field they might like in order to have a good and enjoyable stint.
However
,
money
 is still an important factor in
job
 selection, and several people argue that earning a salary is more important than enjoyable work. On the one hand, it is true that in a way,
money
 leads to better
life
 quality. With more
money
 we can,
for instance
, consume more, buy good quality products, go on holidays and do numerous activities. All these things contribute to a more enjoyable
life
. Even though the
job
 we do does not completely satisfy us, all the other moments apart from our task time will be filled with exciting things. The purpose is to reach well-being and to some ,extent happiness and
money
 is a way to do it.
On the other hand
,
although
money
 is a way to reach happiness, it may be not enough. It is not by chance that nowadays people are seeking a
job
 that fit their interests. It is a tendency that increases more and more in western countries.
For example
, universities provide a wider range of topics and programs every year in order to answer the question that every young wonder: "What do I want to do in my
life
?" In some cases, some decide to quit their
job
, even well paid, because they evolve in an environment they do not like.
This
 is well the proof that
money
 cannot satisfy all our needs. In conclusion, I personally think that even though payment can help to have a better
life
, it cannot completely lead to happiness. We spend the major part of our
life
 at work and people are more and more aware that
this
 part has to be enjoyable.
