Being happy or being well-paid?

Even though many individuals prefer to have a well-paid position, I believe that feeling good about the career is more relevant due to personal happiness and be more useful to society.

From my point of view, people who are content with their job would enjoy their life more. Personal satisfaction at work develops a reasonable lifestyle because people are happier and therefore less stressed. If people reach their goals and occupy themselves with what they want, they will not only be pleased but also be proud of themselves and increase their self-esteem.
For instance; think of a little child who always wanted to be a doctor. Can you imagine his feelings when he gets his medical science diploma?


Moreover, people who are excited about their jobs would do a better job and advance more quickly ;therefore, they would get paid more because they are better than others. In this way, they would be able to get a large amount of money, be more useful for the company and have the happiness that comes from being true to yourself.

Additionally, individuals who get energy from their jobs have more to give to others. For example; a husband who comes from work can make his wife happy with a smile on his face and his positive energy. He would also behave well with his children. In the other words, he would spend more pleasant hours with his family.

Happiness is contagious. If you are pleased you can make the world a better place. Therefore, I’d rather content with my job than highly-paid because I would have the long-term peace that money cannot provide, and also be more useful to society.
