It sometimes said that a high salary is the most important factor in choosing a job. do you agree?

It is, of course, important for people to earn a sufficiently high

salary

to support their lifestyle.

This

does not mean,

however

, that the

salary

is the only point to be taken into consideration when choosing a

job

. Indeed, I would argue that there are a number of other factors that are equally significant. The

first

point to consider is why it may be a mistake to place too much emphasis on the

salary

. One reason why

this

is so is that you may select a

job

that is

well-paid but ultimately unsatisfying. In

this

case, you may spend 8 hours a day being unhappy. Something else to be taken into account is that highly-paid jobs tend to be stressful and involve long working hours.

For instance

early in their careers and wish they had chosen a less stressful profession. The other point to be taken into account is how other factors may matter more than the

salary

when deciding on a

job

. Indeed, most people would accept that the work environment is key to

job

satisfaction. If you are working alongside people you like and the atmosphere in the office is positive, you are much more likely to be satisfied

your work.

Likewise

, it is

also

critical that you actually enjoy what you do.

For example

, someone who is artistic is much more likely to be happy working for a low

salary

teaching art than earning a fortune as a merchant banker. In conclusion, I would say that the

salary

should be only one consideration in choosing a

job

and that other factors

such

as

job

satisfaction and work environment are just as important.
