Nowadays it is common for people to prioritise a higher-payed job than an enjoyable one. Even though it is said that money doesn’t buy happiness, its undeniable that the lack of it is a source of worry that may bring problems to the household. Therefore, people choose a job that will pay better in order to avoid this. It is important to examine both views to reach a reasonable conclusion.
Our jobs take the most of our life time, so it is crucial to consider where and how we want to spend our time. In addition, it is a source of self-esteem, which reflects directly on our intrapersonal and interpersonal relationships. A job can be our source of happiness or our torment, which will fall directly on how we relate with ourselves and others, leading to mental health problems and even depression.
On the other hand, having a job that one enjoys is a privilege that not many people have, as there are several factors that lead to it. First, not everyone has the access to the education that will give them the chance at the job they wish. Secondly, even if someone might have the chance, they may prefer to have economic safety and more time to spend with their families by having a better salary than a better job.
In conclusion, even if a job with a higher salary might give us economic safety, a job that one doesn’t enjoy can lead to mental health issues that will intervene with our relationships and our own happiness, so it is important to consider the consequences this brings.Some people argue that it is more important to have an enjoyable job than to earn a lot of money. Others disagree and think that a good salary leads to a better life.
