Look beyond the money:

Do We Work for Money or Love for the Job?

It has become more apparent that many people are driven by the desire of becoming wealthy, thus take on any job that can bring them that much closer to their reality.When choosing a career path, one needs figure out what things in life are important to you i.e. your goals for the future, what you enjoying doing.Obviously, the amount of salary that your chosen career provides, directly effects the kind of lifestyle you can live.
However, it is important not to get blinded by the potential amount of money any given career path might provide because choosing a career path is more than the money you can make. After all, if you do not enjoy what you are doing, at least on some level, you will not give it your all and giving it your best is the kind of attitude that will lead to promotions that subsequently lead to more money through promotions.
passion over money
I've always believed that it's really important to follow your heart when you're job searching. Do what you love and the money will follow. If you love what you do, it doesn’t feel like work.  One of the leading reasons why we get people who are incompetent in their work is because they chased paper instead of their passion, arriving at work moody ,angry and ready to do a rush job.You have to work your way up the ladder,no one becomes an overnight success!!!!

 

 

Arguments for Money:

A job is a job and as long as youre working, you might as well be making the most return for your time investment.
When you follow a path that leads to money you are developing a skill set that is in demand in our society and have a much better chance of getting hired and keeping a job.
Your job is your job. You should leave it at 5 PM and enjoy the rest of your life.

Arguments for Job Satisfaction:

Your passion should be what you do with your time. Life is too short to pursue other peoples or employers goals. Pursue your own, and rich or poor, happiness will follow.
What good is money if you don’t enjoy what you do?
If you love something you can become really good at it and money will follow.

    1. Definitely, there’s nothing more important than doing what you love and putting in all the effort to back it up. The salary will come with the hard work input, return on investment.

  2. "Love what you do, and do what you love"-The Roots. There is a difference between having a job v/s a Career! A job you cannot wait to go home, but a Career you always want to work and put in the extra hours and being rewarded afterwards is just a bonous. Secret is being true towards your passion, no matter what it takes...@MokD21
