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