When my father was young, he wanted to be a musical actor. However, when he got an offer from one of the biggest companies in Korea, he decided to abandon his dream and accept that offer for a high salary. One day, my father had told me that he regrets for his decision and advised me to get a job that I really want. Taking his advice, I believe being happy with a job is more important than having a high salary.
First of all, people can perform better when their occupation is what they want. People can concentrate and get interested better when they are doing what they want. However, when they are forced to do, they are easily be bored and tired. In this manner, if people are interested in their works, then, they are likely to perform better and try to imporve their performance in the field. For example, an artist that I know was once an ordinary salaryman. Despite of the high income, he wasn't satisfied with his job because he thought he cannot fully develop his potential. So, as soon as he realized his potential in art, he quit his job and draw pictures. Even though he doessn't earn as much as money from his new occupation, he says he is happy becuase he can do his job enthusiacally and see himself developing for better performance.
In addition, being happy with a job can improve people's lives as a whole. When people work only for high salary, they feel much more exhausted and frustrated. This can lead people to be stressful and worsen their relations with other family members. Altough money is also an important facor, other values such as harmony with family members and health are much more crucial for one's standard of living.
There are many people who gave up their dream for high income. I would recommend them to get a job that can made them satisfied because after all, they will be gratified with other values that they have been forgone for money. This will be a life-changing decision since they can develop their potential, have better relationship with people and live healthier life.
