Some people think that one should choose a job based on salary in order to provide security for the family. Do you think money is an important factor when choosing a job? What other factors should be considered?
Many
people
would argue that financial security is the principal reason for their choice of occupation. Some would also
argue that money is a key motivator. However
, my personal belief is that whilst money is important, other factors
also
have a significant bearing. Primarily, people
go out to work in order to earn money to provide for themselves and their families. As such
, continued financial stability and security are important factors
which need to be borne in mind when looking for a new job
. Without a doubt, one of the first things which people

advertisements is the salary scale. If this
does not meet the expectations of an individual, or more importantly at least match their current level of pay, it is highly likely that a decision will be reached that the particular position is not deemed to be suitable. However

factors
including the satisfaction that can be gained in undertaking a rewarding position. For example, nurses and teachers carry out roles which are not always well paid

However
, they are likely to achieve high levels of job
satisfaction which contributes to their intrinsic motivation. The social benefits of working are also
important. This
gives people
the chance to interact socially, both in and out of the workplace. Examples of this
might be the chance to talk to like minded
colleagues over a coffee in the staffroom or liaising with colleagues at a social occasion after work. Add a hyphen
like-minded
In addition
, the chance to work for a reputable organisation, opportunities for professional development and undertaking a role that you are committed to are also
other important factors
. To conclude
, whilst some would choose remuneration as the fundamental consideration when searching for a new role, I would argue that other considerations have an equal weighting.Submitted by niraj.sood on
