Chapter 1: "The Meaning of Work"

Question: What do you value in a job or career-- Flexibility, fulfillment, a high salary, or something else? Has this always been your view, or has it changed while you've matured?
I value a high salary in a job or career, like anyone else in the world. However, I think it is even more important that you love what you do. Sure, the high wages are rewarding and exciting, but is it really worth it if you hate what you're doing in life? I would hate to go into work every day dreading my existence because I had to be there. I want a job that I can smile about, and enjoy doing. I haven't always thought this way. I used to value high salary more than anything else. But that was before I got my current job, that I absolutely love, and the money at the end of the pay period is just an added bonus.

  1. i agree 100% with looking for a job in which you love is the main priority. but i wouldnt hold money to the same value, if i end u making a good salary with my proffession thats great but i would never consider switching career paths to accomplish that goal. But i think it is great you value having a job that you enjoy.

  2. I agree with what you are saying, I do believe that salary plays a role in the career that you choose, but loving what you do is much more rewarding role. I would rather go to work happy everyday and make a descent living than hate what I am doing and make three times the amount.
