People devote a significant portion of their lives to their jobs.
For example, if you work
50 hours a week, which is the typical work hour for high paying jobs, up until 65 years, you will work just over 112,500 hours that shows that one-fifth of your life is spent working. This fact brings up the age-old debate of passion vs money. What is more crucial when deciding between a job pay and happiness? In my perspective, having a career that I like completely outweighs having a job that can merely meet my financial needs and expectations. Firstly, professional success is more achievable when the work involves activities that you enjoy. It is obvious that motivation comes from appreciating what you do since it is sparked by your own ambitions rather than monetary gain. You will not just do tasks without thinking about them, nor will you simply wait for the strike of the clock so you may leave your office. As a result, you will seek out more original ways to complete your work and notice nuances that you otherwise would not have. Secondly, your mental health is mostly impacted by how much you love your job since doing something you dislike on a regular basis will eventually start to consume you. However, if you are having issues in other aspects of your life, doing something you look forward to each morning might help you not only feel better but also lose yourself in the task. A study made by the university of California found that the time we spend pursuing our hobbies helps to reduce stress and increase happiness. Your employment may serve as a form of escape. And when it proceeds in this manner, your productivity can rise as a result of your change in attention to your work. On the other hand, the obvious disadvantage is money. The majority of individuals find it difficult to combine doing what they love with making enough money to live normally. Naturally, pursuing one's aspirations has emotional benefits that working a job that pays the bills is unlikely to provide, but if you cannot pay your rent, it might be time to put aside your passion. Money cannot buy happiness, right? There are many things that money cannot purchase, but there are also times when having money may solve many of our issues. For this reason, picking a profession that pays well has a number of advantages. To sum up, money can provide us materialistic delight but not inner tranquility and peace. Because health can buy us riches, but wealth cannot buy us health, a profession should be cozy and pleasurable rather than stressful and upsetting, even if it pays less.
