Most people love having jobs where they earn a lot of money. Unfortunately, they do not always enjoy doing these. It seems apparent that being happy with one's job is much more important than having a high salary. Doing a job you enjoy, no matter what the salaries are, makes a difference in how well you perform it. In other words, having high job satisfaction can help you become a better worker. This summer, my brother worked as a part-timer at a fast-food restaurant; however, he could not stand serving various customers, especially young children. All he thought about was when he would finish and get to go home. Because he did not like his job, he was not very good at it, and many customers often complained about the service he provided. Not being happy with one's job frequently results in poor work. Being satisfied with your job makes it more meaningful than any amount of money ever could. In fact, if one thinks he or she is employed in a meaningful job, going to work every day will get so much easier. My uncle is an advertising executive, and his wife is a teacher. He makes a lot more money than her, but he is not very happy at his job. Every morning, he feels like he goes to war since he is pressured to compete with rival companies and ever with his colleagues. His wife, on the other hand, is totally fulfilled by her job despite the fact that she makes a small salary. She always finds it pleasant to go to teach her pupils. It just proves that job satisfaction is more crucial to happiness than a high salary. People who are happy at work have much less stress than those who dislike their jobs. Happiness is definitely one of the best cures for stress. When I take the subway to school every morning, I often hear people complaining about their jobs. They complain about their hours, bosses, and salaries. They have too much stress. My mother, a daycare center worker, on the other hand, loves her job and rarely has any stress. This seems to make her much happier and healthier than most people. In conclusion, it is more important to be happy at a job because enjoying working, being satisfied with one's job, and having less stress are all more valuable than earning a large salary. When choosing a profession, people should do what they enjoy, not what pays the most. The world is getting more expensive, so people need enough money to enjoy their lives. Even if one is not happy with his or her job, having a job that provides high compensation is crucial to be able to pay for all of the important things in life. Since the prices of basic gods rise every year, a person needs a good salary to remain out of debt. People cannot live without money, so, if they do not make enough, they may have to pay for goods by borrowing money. My older brother has a fairly low salary, so he is always using his credit card. Now, he has a huge amount of debt to pay off, which may take years for him to do. In his case, earning more money would have helped him stay out of credit card debt. The primary goal of all parents is to protect and provide for their children, so it is imperative that parents make enough money to do so. Having a high-paying job will ensure that parents can buy everything their children need. Both of my parents worked at jobs they did not enjoy, but they recognized the need to make those sacrifices to help raise my brother, sister, and me. They made sure they had enough money to send my brother and sister to good colleges, and they hope to do the same for me. Without their working at those jobs, this would not have been possible. Finally, people must have enough money for retirement. This makes high salaries integral to providing a safety net for people's retirement years. For instance, my grandfather worked at a company for over forty years. It was not always fun, but it paid him enough in salary and retirement benefits. He is in his seventies now and will never have to work or worry about money again. All his years of working have enabled him to relax and have fun for the remainder of his life. Making a lot of money tops being happy with one's job in importance since money helps people remain out of debt, provide for their children, and prepare for retirement. In short, while money does not always buy happiness, it can make life more comfortable.
