Your life can still suck if you have a lot of money, but it can’t suck if you are doing something you love.

I think very similar A good salary can be great today but you should always ask yourself if such a job will make you happy in the long run. Could you do such a job for the next 10-15 years because if you just get miserable after a few months all in the money in the world won't make you happy.
Same checks should be done for your dream job. Is this something with a future? Could you really make a loving out of it long term? We should all try to balance our passions with adding value in our job. Changing careers can be very difficult, especially in times of a crisis like we have today.

Dude, i feel you, i undestand you very much that you still thinking what you should choose, money or pleasure. Perfectly it would be to find that job you like and gives you pleasure you need and also gets you payed really really nice. However, you cannot say that it is impossible to find such a job but it is really hard. I gues ii would choose the one that gets you great money, and after you have the money, you can start and do something you like, or something like that.

Once you get trapped into a job then it is not easier for you to get out until they fire you out because, you will take out lot of loans and you will be in the compulsion of working there to pay the monthly installments, that is how most people are working everywhere.

And sometimes your passion can't really help you to survive so you have to get a job that can really pay a salary. All dreams are forgotten because of that, I hope even you got a job for the salary, you can still find the time for the passion you left behind, cause you know maybe in the future you'll have the chance to pursuit it, the chance where you can really left the job you have all your life. And yep, there's really no age limit for someone to pursue what they really want in life.

We only live once, so choose what you like! You will not take money with you after this life! All you can in this life is to move something from one place to another, etc. Use your time and energy for what you really like!

Hi guys.
The dilemma that I am going to raise is something that I think has passed everyone's mind.
Would you ever choose a job that pays a good salary or would you choose a job in the sector that you love with lower salary?
Personally, I would go for the first option...

Well, if your priority is about earning money there's no reason not to choose the first one. But if you're more concern about self development, I'm pretty sure you'll end up to the second thing and for me this one is more promising since you have the chance to discover something that you love and it is not just about that but it deals more about your own identity.

People say that you should choose a profession of your liking because then you will find enjoyment in your job and it wont be a burden to you.
I would prefer to do a job of my liking no matter what it pays. With my interest and hard work, i would be able to excel in the field i love.
If i choose the other job which is not my interest but pay more, in the long run i may not be able to progress in it.

On my end, I think I will choose first a job with good salary but only for few years until I save good amount of money, then I will divert to a career which I really like best, where I know that I can practice my passion. Because you are right, if you love what you are doing, you will not feel like you are doing your job instead you will enjoy everyday going to work and will look forward about it. So less stress in life.

I agree with the last statement. You may need to save money fast especially if you are fresher. Be financially stable on a faster rate and you don't have to worry for it and you will not have to focus on the salary but just to have the career you dream of having. And eventually, you will that salary soon enough since having the job you have passion will give the will and determination that is almost natural, to get better on your job. Which may lead you to promotion. Hence, better salary. There, problem solved, good salary l, good career.

Oh, a question for a fresh grad just like me. I think it truly depends to the person. If the person can survive with the salary from the career he loves, and can support his family and himself with it, I think he will choose to stay with his/her hearts desire.

And its alright to choose the good salary too. I believe that you can always go back to your dream job in the future, it will never be based on your age. I have a friend who's into theater writing and acting now after spending 20 years in banking. You can always choose the good salary in able to provide for yourself and your family and go back to the sector you really love in the future, after you've settled. It will never be too late.

Graduates usually think that low salary is acceptable at the start of their career because they think that they are going to get a raise in the future.
But if you don't have a family that they can support you and you have to live your kids from your 8 hours everyday job then you should totally have to choose the good salary, right?

Right, some graduates need a high paying job for their first job because they needed it just like me, but what can we do? High salary jobs ask for work experience. If we receive 3 offers from different companies, we will always choose the best offer. Some graduates accepted a starting low paying job because they think they can earn a lot after having a year of experience.

It's normal, but I've also read that people in my age are starting to learn their worth in finding jobs. We are more choosy in our work environment, we often choose the work with the right pay rate(which should always be the right choice).

Graduates are willing to work for lower wages because they have no work experience at all and it is quite difficult for them to sell their skills. Moreover, many of them are very shy at their first job interviews. In this situation it is ridiculous to ask for a higher salary.

Well based on the question i will go for the good salrary. Now a days most people dont look at career sector so far you are educated and you have the ability to learn you are good to work any where. but if your question was
"A good salary but no peace of mind e.g frustration at office OR A bad salary but peace of mind". I would go for peace of mind

I think choosing between these options depends on the financial status of a person. But anyway, I'd also go with the first one—the job that pays a good salary. Money is of great necessity nowadays (especially during this time of pandemic). And as far as I know, there are companies that offer seminars first so that an employee will have an idea of what he/she will be doing.

Also, I think that one will eventually learn how to love something and in this situation, one's work.

My point of view comes closer to your words.
Money is a great necessity right now. You cannot live a decent life if you don't make good money. And trying to find the best job will never come true. There will be always some things that you don't like so it is better to choose money.

Depends. Is the job you love an employable skill, that offers the ability to specialise? And how good is the salary for the "boring" job?

You are right but consistent with the present situation of the country regardless of what the work is, everyone will choose employment with an honest salary Everyone needs money to beat this crisis caused by the epidemic. Therefore, albeit the work isn't good if I buy a better salary then I'm forced to try to to it later under the pressure of things Circumstances will teach him to try that.

About 10 years ago I had my own business that brought me enough money and pleasure as I worked for myself. After a while I went bankrupt because technology was constantly evolving and there was no demand for my products.

Since then, I have worked in a lot of organizations, but I have not experienced this kind of pleasure anymore. To this day, I remember that time as the best. Though it is harder to work for myself, but also pleasure such work brings more especially when you achieve some success.

I am truly sorry to hear that you business eventually failed, but at least you had a chance to experience that kind of joy at one point in your life.

I don't think many could say the same, unfortunately. Maybe something good awaits you again soon, who knows.

Just stay open minded, I guess. Grin

I was fortunate enough to find the job I actually grow to like more every day (or should I say the job found me? Grin

) and I am so grateful for that. I wish you all the same luck as I had, and even more. *fingers crossed*

Well for me I will probably go with a job that pays good salary because as a person like me whose having a family what I'm looking forward is to help my husband through our daily needs.I have done it for almost 16 years of my life but when I resigned my job as I wanted to keep an eye for my children grow I never leave my husband behind,I still able to help him through online selling it's not what I really love but it's what is needed.I keep fighting for them.

It is generally accepted that a good job is a good and high income. But there are people for whom a good job is not associated with material values. They are attracted to the idea and completely different goals. I believe that a good job should be like your own hobby, you like to do it regularly, and it brings pleasure.

That would be the best thing to do but I don't think it is feasible.
There is a small percentage of people who manage to do as a job, their hobby. All others do a job that they usually do not like but they have to do it in order to make a living.
