Many people choose their jobs based on the size of the salary offered.
Personally, I disagree with
the idea that money is the key consideration when deciding on a career,
because I believe that
other factors are equally important.
On the one hand, I agree that money is necessary in order for people
to meet their basic needs.
For example, we all need money to pay for housing, food, bills, health
care, and education. Most
people consider it a priority to at least earn a salary that allows them to
cover these needs and
have a reasonable quality of life. If people chose their jobs based on enjoyment or
other non-financial factors, they might find it difficult to support themselves.
Artists and musicians, for
instance, are known for choosing a career path that they love, but
that does not always provide
them with enough money to live comfortably and raise a family.
Nevertheless, I believe that other considerations are just as important
as what we earn in our
jobs. Firstly, personal relationships and the atmosphere in a workplace
are extremely important
when choosing a job. Having a good manager or friendly colleagues,
for example, can make a
huge difference to workers’ levels of happiness and general quality
of life. Secondly, many
people’s feelings of job satisfaction come from their professional
achievements, the skills they
learn, and the position they reach, rather than the money they earn.
Finally, some people choose
a career because they want to help others and contribute something positive to society.
In conclusion, while salaries certainly affect people’s choice of profession,
I do not believe that
money outweighs all other motivators.
