Money and Careers

I disagree with the statement that “the most important consideration in choosing a career is whether the career is a fast growing career.” I disagree with the statement because in my opinion the statement is directed toward people who are more interested in the money. 

            Yes, the more the money you make in your career, the better for you, but there are people who love their career no matter how much money they make. I honestly want to find a career that I love. I want a decent salary, but if I love my job, then I see nothing wrong in not caring about the salary. As long as my career has decent pay, I can always ask for a raise, but I can also enjoy myself when I am at work.

            I think that if I find a career that I absolutely love and enjoy coming too, then the pay will not matter. There are two options you can do in that situation: Either get another part time job for some extra pay, or after working at your job for awhile, and proving yourself worthy, ask your boss for a raise. If you are in a job that has amazing pay but you do not enjoy, you will have no interest in going to work every day, and you are not really interested in your job, but just in the currency.

            You never know if a business is going to grow or decline, but if you are in the highest paying jobs, then you have to have lots of schooling, and probably finding a job in your field interests will be really hard. If you start out on a lower paying job, you might learn to love it, or you get another job to have better pay. If you enroll yourself in a lower paying job, you will gain more experience for higher paying jobs.
