Job interest holds greater importance than the salary it gives. How far do you agree with this statement?

I Agree to this statement to a certain extent.

In life, we have choices. We often can choose between what pays better, what pays worse, what jobs have more benefits and what jobs have less. However, if we take a closer look. These choices only apply to people that have better educational background. Take this example to a student that completed university and a student that got expelled from secondary school. It is clear that the one that completed university would have more choices while the student that got expelled would have to look high and low and at all the nooks and crannies of the business world to find an employer that would trust him/her and pay him/her a decent salary that would be able to sustain him/her.

So when it comes down to this. The choice between Salary and Job Interest only applies to a certain group as we cannot stereotype all scenarios people are in.

People that DO have choices, usually would go for the higher paying jobs as with today's day and age. The cost of living is extremely high. People of the current generation are often obligated to work hard and earn a decent salary to support their family. They want to live in comfort and to do exactly that, they often need to sacrifice many hours to work and sacrifice the passion for the field of work they are in.

Often, the people with the least choices on interest of job and salary of job are the people that are the sole breadwinners of their family. These people that to spend ridiculous amounts of time at work just to scrimp their families away through the month to the next paycheck. These people have no choice but do to so, or else their family will suffer.

However much salary is important though, interest of the job could determine how well you succeed in doing your work. If one has no interest in the job, one would probably slog through the days with no happiness at all. It would be possible to say that when one has no interest in the job, their performance at work would be under average or unacceptable. Thus they would always be in the hot seat or on the list of prime candidates to be reprimanded, demoted or even fired.

I believe that if one is passionate about the job, and keeps working at it hard enough. The effort will pull through and one might even be promoted. Hard work, time and a lot of scrimping will be required to do this. I guess this will just have to depend on the certain individuals level of determination and current situation. If the individual has a family of four to feed, they have no time to work happy and wait to be promoted for a better pay.

My own mother is probably a victim of this but she has often told me that the love and passion for the job comes eventually. With an optimistic temperament towards the job and an office full of kind and considerate people, the interest and passion for the job will definitely build. Thus when it is like this - the line between salary and interest for the job is blurred significantly.

Thus to me, the salary of the job is of greater importance as job interest will build with time.
