Career Choices: Money Or Passion?

[jagaimo]

pero ngayon..

money....

[salvaje]

ako passion kasi may money naman sa passion ko eh

[immacul8bitca]

^ good for you!

 

In an ideal world, I would answer passion; I am a realist so I would say money, although some passion bring the money.

Career-wise, passion over money. money can't buy you happiness.(atleast in your workplace.)

[SilentStriker]

for an IT professional like me, important ang passion sa trabaho especially if you're only starting out. pero as time goes by and your experience grows, kelangan tingnan mo rin ung money na involved. iba rin ung may work-life balance + great compensation.

[LandLORD]

Passion of course..

where there is passion money will follow

 

"MONEY WAR"

and im transitioning to that direction also.

If you're asking yourself this question, e.g. you're recently done with school and / or early into a career, my unsolicited advice is to think hard about what your aptitudes are, what you're interested in doing, then assess the economic possibilities in it. What's the future for going up the food chain, whether as an employee or entrepreneur, how much money do you want to make, what kind of a lifestyle do you want to live?

 

I never thought about these things enough when i was younger, just went with the flow although all my earlier jobs were within my field of aptitudes and interests. I spent years in the nonprofit oriented sector before consciously deciding to get into the profit sector. It was a difficult but productive transition. But i wish i'd been able to embark in that direction much sooner.

 

The thing is, if you do this process of triangulation for yourself, it's easier to set goals (whether or not they're met or even exceeded is not as important as having a point of aim), and you can make more deliberate decisions on what work to look for, what you want to do.

 

Also, from experience, if you want to set up your own business, it's good to have some professional experience in a good outfit (like a big corporation) so you have exposure to organizational concepts, disciplines and systems.

syempre dapat practical Money muna bago passion

[reskie22]

passion along with money

or money along with passion...

[seanryan]

i could say i am enjoying my job.. i have passion for it...and the moolah isn't that bad at all. but if someone were to ask me, i'm in it for the action..money is just part of the fringe benefits..haha

[IchigoHollow]

passion... :evil

[einnad]

if it is not for passion career might be a cross to bear

 

and it is very hard to be excellent in a thing that you

 

don't enjoy. therefore, less money will be the result

 

of it. passion is the fire that keeps you going and

 

finances will surely follow along the way.

[daysleeper]

Based on the law of compounding interest, I believe that it is best to earn and invest my money now while I am young.

I will then pursuit my passions after I have the finances to do so.

 

But I envy those people whose passions coincide with earning a living (and getting a lot of money at that).
