#salary #job #satisfaction
It is argued that a big wage is much more crucial than career pleasure.

 realize that 30% of their existence is spent on work, so because of the seriousness they at least try, to find opportunities to enjoy every bit of it. Imagine your 30% being full of negativity, is
this
 life even worth living? You wake up every day, 5 days a week for 12 months, at 7 AM and

, my uncle Andrew was only working for his big salary, not thinking about his mental health, which

also
