Agree or disagree: The most important aspect of a job is the money a person earns.




When a person chooses a job, he or she must consider many aspects very carefully.
Lots of people think of high salary as the most essential part of their job. However, I firmly believe that passion for career and working time is much more important than money.

In my opinion, passion, not money, is the most important aspect of people's job. One of the reasons of performing badly at work is that many people do not enjoy their job. They think of it as boring and terrible. Consequently, those people lack motivation for working and have few chances of promotion. This is probably the reason why most career counselor advice students to choose a future career based on their hobbies, so that they would be more satisfied with their job.
Another factor of job that affect people's lives greatly is working time. Firstly, long hours of working may give people little time with their family and friends, which is one of the main causes of divorce in the modern world. According to the newspapers, half of the lawyers of the United States get divorce due to overworking. Secondly, people will not have time to rest or pursue their interest if they work too much.  Lack of time for relaxing can result in the decrease of healthiness. Nowadays, many workaholics have health problems such as stress, tiredness and sleeplessness. As we can see, working too much can influence people negatively, both mentally and physically.
In conclusion, money is apparently not the most essential feature of job. Therefore, other elements, including passion and managing working time also need taking into consideration.
