Whether or not that being happy with a job is more crucial than having a high salary has been under debate ever since people started finding their job. It might be true that people can be satisfied themselves with their work, which make them happy. However, I disagree with it since high salary will make people being honored than less salary. Moreover, it allows people to do whatever they want.
First of foremost, I don't think that only being happy with a job will make people feel actually happy. Now we are living in middle of capitalism society. Although each people has little in common over what is real happiness, all they are clustered under the label of capitalism. In this society, only having a plenty of money will make us happy because everything involved their life is related to money such as nice car and fency house. By having fency cars and living in huge house people will feel satisfied themselves and happy. In this regard, high salary from work will make us happier.
Moreover, having a high salary will allow us to do a variety of things. As long as we started working, we would concern what we would do with money in vacation or little break between each season. In particular, people having a plenty of money have a lot of choice. According to study by University of Tokyo, what most people want to do with family in vacation is a cruises. As you may already know, cruise is one of expensive leisure for the vacation, but it will not be a difficult matter with a lot of money. Moreover, if high salaried people want to learn scuba-diving, which one of costly things to learn, they can do without hesitating because they have enough money. In this respect, I think that getting a high salary will allow us to do many things.
All in all, I truly believe that having a high salary is better than just being happy with a job. Since people will be happier by having a high salary, in addition, they can try and do whatever they want.
