job choice

Which would you choose: a high-paying job with long hours that

would give you little time with family and friends or a lower-paying

job with shorter hours that would give you more time with family and

friends? Explain your choice, using specific reasons and details.

If I was asked to make a choice between a high-paying job with long hours and a lower-paying job with

shorter hours I would hesitate to answer. I did not decide for my self yet what I want in my life more my

family or my career. I think that these options are very different ones and one needs time to make a right

decision.

From the one side, a high-paying job with long hours gives one more opportunities to make a great career

and succeed in life. Another important aspect of this is that one can earn more money for his family. In

addition to these practical benefits, a person can get satisfaction and self-realization that are very

important in one’s life. I think that it is a very great and essential feeling to be a part of progress, make

difference and be satisfied with the job. However, a high-paying job with long hours brings many

disadvantages too. For example, a person will have less time for his family and friends. Secondly, the job

will be more stressful and bring more responsibilities. A person will have to sacrifice many things to his

job.

From the other side, lower-paying job with shorter hours can bring many benefits. One can spend more

time with his family and have many pleasant and beautiful moments together. Also, a job will be less

stressful and not require to sacrifice one’s spare time to get it done. However, a person most likely will not

be able to make a career and make much money. Moreover, one’s salary may be not enough to pay for his

children’s education.

To sum up, I think that every person at least one time in his life realize this and make a decision whether

he or she wants a career or great family. And I did not make this decision yet.
