some people say financial gain should be da most important factor in choosing a career.this seems to make sense because money is da first thing that springs to our mind whenever we consider possible career but is money really all that our jobs are about? conversing

I used to get alot of job satisfaction from previous jobs, now I'm afraid job security is a thing of the past and one has to look at purely finacial rewards for our labour now.......my way of thinking anywy

Find something that you are passionate about doing. If you choose a career that you love, it won't seem like a "job" at all, and the money usually will follow.

For me, no.

For me it is important, that I like my job.
It doesn't matter how much I get in a job if I hate the job. It's more important for me to be happy, not to have a lot of money.
It is enough for me if I can pay my rental, my bills and my food.

What's in it for me in the end of my life, if I had millions on my bank but a life full of a hated job.
I'm rather poor and happy as rich and unhappy.
Btw, I think, if somebody is making a job which he doesn't like, he can never be make a good job.

My career chose me. I love what I do - typically, when you're in that situation, the money follows. That, and it's good to keep a roof over my head...

Money is not the most important, I choose what I like first, but then I want to know how much I will get paid.

Money is important but it's not why I do my job.

I gave up a much better paid job which I loathed for many years to do what I do now. I'm poorer but happier, and for the first time have real job satisfaction.

I enjoy my work and do it well I believe, so I deserve to be rewarded which I am, in many more ways than just financial.

I once used to think it was. It’s very important that you’re happy with what your doing. Why make all that money if you’re going to be miserable as a result?

Do something you love doing and chances are you will make a ton of money from it. I heard somewhere that this is considered to be some sort of a strange phenomenon and part of a secret to success. That, along with hard work and dedication.

Once, my career was fun... exciting & adventurous.
I didn't mind going to work.
Due to uncontrollable events, it went away.
Now, I work to pay the bills.
I have a job.
It's become a function.

wave use to have that belief...saved and strived and withstood long hours for my familys security. That did not work out quite the way I planned.

Now I care for injured, neglected people and have found such a sense of self worth and accomplishment that I'm thirsty for more knowledge to be better equipped.

the money/pay has become a less than primary priority these days. Its probably because if i need more on hand cash the work is always available and as others so aptly said if you find true enjoyment in your work it no longer drains you it replenishes you in ways all the dollars could not.

When I was younger I thought that I had to earn a lot of money. And I did. I was never at home to watch my 4 oldest kids grow up, and before I knew what was going on they were grown and gone.
When my youngest daughter was 4 I sat in the living room and was watching her play. I thought damn she is growing so fast and I am missing it again. Went to work that night and put the bar up for sale,got it sold and took a job that would let me attend all of her activities at school and just be there for her. She will be21 this Dec 31st and I am so much closer to her than I am to my older kids.
The money is nice, But if it takes you away from home so much that you miss out with your kids It is not worth it.
