A Quick Discussion

Alright here's a thing that I think worth the discuss:

Do you prefer to work for passion or for money?

Because you see... My dream job has always be to involve in a job that requires my expertise to beautify a thing/service/whatever it is. I like things to be beautiful and contemporary, disregard on how it will affect the sale of that particular 'thing', because I believe, when a thing is not sellable but it's in its perfect packaging, at least the outcome you'll get is branding. Conclusion is, I just hate doing sales, very complicated, full of figures, definately not my thing.

So how? You rather be broke all the time but work happily or hate your work but earning good money?

Share your thoughts, please, if there're still readers here :)

Depends on the time of life. Right now with raising kids...they tend to take some money. When it's just me that I need to take care of, do what I love. Of course, I get to do what I love and not worry about money right now because my husband is willing to work at something he doesn't like doing.

I think you need a bit of both really. In my view you need a good salary to support your preferred standard of living (and that will depend very much on the individual - an average for the US is believed to be around the $60k mark) because otherwise you will have to worry so much about financials at some point that you can't enjoy work anymore (and let's face it, most of us work to live and not the other way around). To stay in a job just for the money although you hate the work is even worse - it would destroy me pretty soon, I couldn't do that for much longer than say 1 year or so.

I prefer passion and peace, because money is just a instrument, something we need to ajust our lives, but not to live for it.

Great question, greatings from Brazil.

If we could have both, I would choose to work doing what I love and make a ton of money while doing it. I also know what it's like to be unhappy as well as to be broke, so I would prefer being unhappy because money can take away most of the problems or situations that were associated with me being unhappy in the first place. Make a ton of money and do what I love on the side, then it doesn't bore me from doing it all the time. I'm not a money hungry person, just know that being happy doesn't put a roof over your head. I would rather be unhappy with somewhere to lay my head or at least have my bills paid. :) Those are just my thoughts at the moment. ;)

Tricky question. If I work for fun, i.e. doing some writing that doesn't seem to earn money, it is not considered as work by my wife and friends. To earn their respect, I'd better earn as well. It's complicated.

I would rather be dirt poor than do something I don’t feel passionate about.

I would prefer to do something I love and am
passionate for, but $$ is important too. Very important!

I think the most important is to work on something you like. That when you wake up tomorrow, do it with motivation and desire ... knowing you will be satisfied! If you add that to make money .. it better! =)

Don't wait for your circumstances to change, if you look for ways to apply the "beautification factor" to what you are currently doing you will find greater enjoyment than the future dream job could ever offer. Start with one small area... share with us. You are already thinking of possibilities.

Well I love acting, and that is my passion. I just love it and don't really care how much money I earn. However my dream would be to act and earn enough money to get buy so I didn't have to work another job. But I would far prefer being broke and doing something I love than the money :)

Ankita said...

I've been battling with that question since too long as well. The conclusion i've reached on.....work for something you find good enough to earn money with, earn that money and put a part of it into doing what you love. Coz if you do what you love and don't earn well, ultimately resentment will set in, causing you to hate your life. Worst case, you may end up dissatisfied with your passion. Another thing that i strongly believe is, putting your passion into technicalities required for earning money just takes the "soul" out of it. I earn from my job and enjoy the worldly pleasures and keep my soul intact for my passion. I guess that's the perfect balance. It keeps the innocence alive in the thing you're passionate about. You never end up adulterating it to monetise it.

Hi Jean, great question! I agree with Radtke Customs, that the answer definitely changes along with where you are in your life (single, married, children, a student, your expenses etc.). I also like what markeebiel said about loving to write and not feeling like it is a job - not everyone gets that lucky and it's nice to see when someone does that they do appreciate it. I think that if you want that kind of situation, yes, you can make it happen, but along the way you still have to eat and pay rent. So sure, there will have to be compromise, at least for some period of time. It is up to each of us whether we give in on quantity or quality. Some people don't mind working at a menial job 60 or 70 hours a week if they know it means they are one step close to a dream. Attitude is so key in this. Really no right or wrong, just what is best for you and your situation. Peace! <3

Hello there, I have to say your post sums up what I say all the time. I personally think doing what you enjoy has a higher value than money. Being happy every day reduces stress and just is over all enjoyable. If you're not happy what good will all that money do for you?

That is one of most hard question. but i will choose the one i like. there is korean words, 'if you are in front of death, what is on your mind? un-eaten food or un-having dream?'

There's never only 2 choices in life, surely a middle ground could be found between pay and enjoyment with work. I understand sometimes settling for middle ground is not good enough, you want the best of both worlds and you can get that with the ability to buy rs gold, you can both get it fast and achieve anything you want with it all at rock-bottom prices!

In fact, there are two ways to achieve the effect you want. First, I think you only need to slowly upgrade to Buy POE Currency to become rich, but I think this is too much trouble and takes too long, so I think it is best to buy online, you can buy POE Currency in MMOAH, they The website has been in business for a long time and is very trustworthy. I have been buying it there.At the same time, my friends and I like to play this game.This is their official website:https://www.mmoah.com/path-of-exile
