Which would you choose a high-paying job with long hours that would give you a little time with family and friends or a lower-paying job with shorter hours that would give you more time with family and friends? Explain your choice, using specific reasons and details.

Few people do not get much family time as they work extra hours to earn more salary.

However

many individuals are satisfied with low-income and short-time professions as they spend their precious time with loved ones and kids. I personally support the former view and I have tried to argue for the same in the upcoming paragraphs.

Firstly

, high pay jobs are making daily routines easier because expensive gadgets to accomplish them are easier to come by.

In particular

, nowadays, electronic items like iPods, laptops, iPhones etc, have become essential possessions to maintain expected standards in society.

Additionally

, providing quality education to children in high-end schools has become a trend and that can be achieved only if you are a highly salaried employee. Conclusively, earning in the top bracket is imperative to live a luxurious life these days.

Secondly

,

while

many people prefer to work less so as to prioritize family and friends in order to maintain healthy relationships and peace of mind, they are wasting precious youth, creativity and earning potential in the process.

This

has led to their dependence on governments for primary services

such

as food security, education, and health, which in turn has increased taxes and insurance costs in developed countries. So, what was considered important for mental health has become the basis of anxiety.

Apart from

this

,

while

in

this

modern era supporting kids' activities are necessary for their emotional and physical well-being, parents, extended families and friendly neighbourhoods could pitch in for each other when needed so that the productive years of adults can be capitalised on.

This

has been fruitfully practised among older generations and remote communities where extended families and a village community are as significant as the micro-family unit.

To conclude

,

while

both kinds of people live in society, one who earns more to spend a luxurious life in his or her early fruitful years is making more of a comprehensive impact on not just their immediate family but on their community,

as well as

, bringing up the

overall

standard of living,
