Passion or Money: What drives your Career Path

[KeenanEl19]

First, it was money, and then develops passion along the way. I’m saying this because when I apply for my job, I’m really in need of money to support my parents, and as a fresh graduate, I don’t have to be picky so I can start earning and give back to my parents.

That was my first perspective about having a career. But now I realized passion matters the most. Because you won’t get to last longer on your career if you don’t love your job. You need to love your job, so that in return your job will also reward you and even lead you to a good promotion.

I think so too, the main thing in both of these, in my opinion, is money, which is quite clear, because many people whose selves are controlled by money prove that money can make us passionate, although there may be those who prioritize passion over money, but it seems that only a small minority. Apart from that, with you who have to work to support your parents, I understand what you are going through and you must be enthusiastic about going through it even though it may sometimes feel annoying or tired, but what you are doing is good behavior because it is one of the good behaviors to repay your own parents who have raised you. I myself am like that.

The first impulse is always money. If we find a job with a very high salary, even if it doesn't align with our passions, most people will still take it. With enough money, we might be able to build our own independent careers one day, aligning with our passions. However, for the journey there, it's okay to force ourselves to work in fields we don't enjoy. As long as we can do it and the work is legal, then that's good enough. And we must also realize that simply having an income can sometimes bring happiness and a sense of gratitude. Because sometimes we realize that not everyone is as fortunate as we are.

Talking about our career path, I think we need to address on the two sides because they are so important here, we have to decide on either of the two and if possible consider them both as well, because they are of importance in someone's career path , money is one of the reasons we find ourselves building our career, we also needs the passion required for establishing a smooth and robust pursuant for this same purpose, while of we can have them altogether, things may be more better for us to achieve more in life having them into consideration.

Of course this is a relative situation, a lot of people will have their own ideas about it, but if you start from when you’re young to plan this, you’ll surely get it right.

Money is the major driving force for any career path, whether you’re chasing passion or money it’s same end product; to make or earn a living, no one chases his or her passion just for the sake of being passionate, there’s a goal of making it big and profiting from it. The difference is Passion in what you do gets you the best results, going for just the money can make you have depression when the money is not coming as you want but passion keeps you going when it’s not available.

Advice to younger and maybe Parents discover what you love and try to push your career along that path, it beautiful and great when you make it work.

Maybe for me who comes from an ordinary economic circle, money is the main driver to work or have a career, maybe it's different for people who are born as rich people who have prepared everything for the future. But that's just my assumption, because I don't know for sure what happened.
At first we will aspire to find the job we want, but over time when we don't get what we want, we become indifferent to work, as long as it produces we will do it. Now when we already have a permanent job, then there we will start thinking about what our future career will be like. I guess that's my journey so far.

Passion and money both drive career part but the most important among the two of them should be money, the main reason why we choose career is because of money. You can have a passion for dancing but if you know that dancing is not a lucrative job that can pay you enough to take care of your expenses it won't be wise to choose it as a career. You can do dancing as a part time job or for fun pending when you can get a well paid dancing job. It is better to be doing a job that you don't like provided it doesn't harm your health, do it for money that will make you to live comfortably.

What will be your advice to the younger generation?

When you and your family are facing financial problems, emotions should not be of much value to you or you cannot choose your source of income with emotions even if you want to. Because most of the time, emotional sources of income have less money. If there is enough money there, then you should do that.

For me, before doing any work, I will consider the money aspect, then I will consider hard work and finally I will give priority to my emotions. If I have 5 sources of income where the amount of money is equal, then I will look at hard work, if there is no difference there, then I will choose the job I like.

The main purpose of our work is to earn money and gain respect. Respect is certainly hidden in the work you like. There is respect in the work you dislike, but it will not seem so respectable to you. So if I have the opportunity to choose, I will give priority to money first in choosing my career, and then I will give priority to my choice.
