Money vs. Career Satisfaction
Via 20-Something Finance:
Arguments for Money:
- Following this path could potentially set yourself up for becoming financially independent so that you may do whatever you’d like in life and not have to make money at all.
- A job is a job and as long as you’re 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 people’s or employer’s 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.
