Some people think that people should choose their job based on income in order to provide security for their family. Do you think money is an important factor when choosing a job? What other factors should be considered?

It is quite often debated that a

career

should be chosen based on income to meet the daily living necessities.

Although

a higher salary is sought after, in my view there are other elements that need to be considered for a better living, which I am going to discuss in

this

essay. On the

one

hand, income tops the list of key criteria to choose

one

's profession for varied reasons. It pays the bills, puts food on the table, and provides a better standard of living. In developing countries, the inflation rate is growing higher when compared to developed countries.

For example

, In India, food prices are directly linked to petrol and diesel prices and they increase in proportion to fuel prices.

Hence

people are forced to choose a

career

that promises better income.

On the other hand

, there are quite a few other key factors that need to be considered.

Firstly

, the profession should be an honourable

one

,

this

provides a reputable image for the individual in the society.

For example

, doctors have a respectable image in society.

Next

, the

career

should be a sustainable and long-lasting

one

, it should not be that it is outlived for a few years only and the person is forced into a mid-life crisis.

Lastly

, the job should provide a better work-life balance and promote the physical and mental well being of the individual. To conclude as

such

, though money is

one

of the primary deciding factors for choosing a

career

, in my opinion, the aforementioned factors should

also

be considered for a better living.
