The most important consideration when choosing any career or job is having a high income. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
It is widely accepted that, for most
people
. their daily working lives will not be spent in their dream jobs. Despite this
, I do not feel that people
should instead
prioritise becoming a higher earner above all
other concerns. To begin
with, I strongly believe that people
need stimulation in their daily working lives in order to feel a sense of reward. Very few of us can go through an entire career staying in a position or industry that we find boring purely for financial incentives. Secondly
, there are so many people
who see their working life as a search for fulfilment and contentment in helping others, rather than a search for wealth. It seems unlikely that the priority, for, say, every nurse or teacher in the world is to become well-off, and jobs such
as these are rarely extremely well-paid. Despite this
, some would argue that those people
who have families to support should always prioritise earning a high income; after all, it means securing their children’s future. Others point out that, as the job market becomes increasingly unstable across the globe, it is vital to earning
more and Wrong verb form

more. Wrong verb form

However
, I do not agree that a good salary should necessarily be the number one concern for everyone. Too many people
become preoccupied with the next pay rise or career move, and eventually become unhappy or even depressed, neither of which helps them to save or to provide for their family. In summary, earning as much money as is humanly possible should not be anyone’s main concern. Granted, it arguably brings financial stability, to individuals and their families, but it is simply not worth tolerating a lifetime of unhappiness at work purely for the money.Submitted by amritmullowal on
