(Agree)
Most people love having jobs where they earn a lot of money. Unfortunately, they do not always enjoy doing these jobs. 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 salary is, 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 even 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.
