When choosing a job, salary is the most important decision. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Some job seekers consider that the salary they receive will decide whether they work for that company or not.

While

I partly agree with

this

statement, I

also

believe that job satisfaction plays an important role in the career path of each individual.

First,

let us look at how important it is when employees receive a huge amount of wages.

Firstly

, they can easily cover living expenses

such

as housing, food, transportation, and even entertainment without any pressure from money

while

there are a number of people who are struggling with daily living expenditures and even falling into long-term liabilities.

For instance

, a manager who earns 20 million VND per month never needs to think about housing rental fees, the price of their favourite food and monthly holiday

whereas

a lower-paying candidate with an average of 10 million monthly paychecks can only afford a cheap room and reasonable food, and of course, travelling is something luxury for them.

On the other hand

, some experts who have been reaching the top of their career path feel empty and meaningless in their plenty of benefits as long as welfare from work because they do not find job satisfaction. Regarding

this

matter, I remember a friend of mine who is a reputable lawyer in the business field, getting a large income of about 400 million VND every year;

however

, it is extremely stressful and intensely exhausting after work. Later on, after a holiday to the mountainous area, namely Daknong, she found her happiness in helping poor children to read and write. Even though her financial status is not as good as before, she is fulfilled and has precious time for herself. In conclusion,

while

it is irrefutable that salary is a crucial part of selecting a career, I would contend that other factors should be considered before choosing what task we will take.
