Should salary be the most important factor in choosing career

Should salary be the most important factor in choosing career? Nowadays, many graduates consider salary as a key factor when they are looking for a job. They turn down many job opportunities due to low salary and set their minds to get a high-salary job. Should salary be the most important factor in choosing career?

In my opinion, I don’t think salary should be the most important factor in choosing a career. People may neglect many other things that worth to pursue in one’s life if they put salary as the most important factor in choosing career. In fact, many people choose to fulfill their life goals and give up the job opportunity with highest salary.

Admittedly, financial condition is the foundation for any other activities. However, it doesn’t mean that everybody should regard it as the most important factor in life. After all, money is just a way satisfy our basic life needs. We still have so many needs that money can fulfill. Such as families, interests and dreams.

In addition, some job positions may just appears to be with low salary. On the other hand, these positions may have great potentials. Such as chance for promotion, training opportunity, good work environment, excellent corporate culture and reputation and comprehensive welfare system.

In conclusion, I think the best career choice is the combination of personal interests and financial benefits. If people choose a career that they don’t like, they may be impatient and blundering when they are at work. Only doing what they like or interest can people improve their working efficiency and working performance.
