▶ Your Answer : Some people think that high salry risky jobs are better than low salary secure jobs. However in my opinion, I strongly believe that low salry secure jobs have more benefits than high salary risky jobs. There are two reasons why I think this way. First, nowadays people's lives stretch to 100, which means secure jobs are necessary. Second, salary is not important for one's happiness. To begin with, we are now living in a world where our death age is around 100 years old. To have a job until you are at least 60 years old, you will need a safe job. You wil have to at least earn for a living to sustain a normal life. I have a counsin who got a job in a very famous electronic company which ensured a very high salary. At the time he got his job, we was really happy. However, my cousin's age is now 45 and he got fired because of his age. He is now worrying about is future and even has insomnia due to his early retirement. In addition, it is evident that salary is not important to be happy. Normally, we think that getting high salaries will lead us to happiness, the ultimate goal of our life. However, there was a surveyl conducted by a group of psychologists in George Washington university, with high salary workers and low salary workers as respondants. The purpose of the survery was to understand the relationship about money and happiness in today's world. Surprisingly, 75% of the high salary workers were unhappy with their life, on the other hand, only 15% of the low salary workers were unhappy with their life. After knowing about this remarkable research, it made me remind me of my aunt. She works at a post office, a job that doesn't have much earnings but very stable. She was really satistifed and pleased all the time when I saw her. She didn't have to work so many hours a day which made her spend a lot of time with her families and friends. Also she didn't have severe work on the workfeild which made her more relaxed all the time. My aunt was the person who was very gratified with her life even though she is not paid that much. To sum up, secure jobs erases our worries of being jobless when we are old. Moreover, there is no relevance between the money we are paid from our jobs and the happiness in our life. In this regard, I firmly hold that one should choose low salary secure jobs rather than high salary risky jobs. |
