Age old question...

For love or money?

The choice that has hounded millions since the dawn of time or one person had something another person wanted. Yet I'm not talking about relationships or marriage but careers. If people had a choice would they rather do a job they love doing or do something that pays more?

I suppose people have various reactions to it, some would choose to go for the money. A high paying job can afford financial stability, a certain amount of security and obviously alot of money but there's the fact that at the end of the day or in the midst of work, they ask themselves why they do what they do. Ofcourse there are various reasons, kids to support, things to buy and a lifestyle to maintain. Compromises and sacrifices have to be made somewhere.

Or is it better to be doing something that you love, not just something you like, something you love. A job would stop being a job once it has stopped becoming a burden at least that what people say. Imagine waking up in the morning and looking forward to going to work. The passion that you have for something almost certainly guarantees that you will do your best. But what if it pays less? Has less benefits? What if it cannot sustain the lifestyle previously enjoyed? What if you love your job but you love your kids more and you can't stand to see them starving because you can't afford to buy what they need, not want, need.

Maybe some enlightenment will come to all those uncertain people in one form or the other, may it be through the horoscope, tarrot cards, span mail, a friend's advice or a eureka moment in the toilet.

One can only hope that the thing you love doing reaks in all that dough...
