Career Choices: Money Or Passion?

[Guest Riveria]

It's still passion for me..

[fordvipe]

Well its nice to go for your passion but lets face the fact that money moves the world around whether you like it or not!!!!!!

[chrispt21]

Passion! Would you rather be happy with no luxuries or sad with tons of luxuries?

[SaintPeter5858]

If you have more money like, let's say Bill Gates or warren Buffet or Henry Sy, it would be much easier to turn your attention to what caters your imagination and that's your passion. But for some start-up businessmen, it would be wiser to get into what can bring more goods to your coffer.

Im fortunate enough to have found a road that has the two.. I love my job and this time I found one company that was able to give me a good platform and good pay.

Some people are fortunate to have found both happiness and a lucrative income in their job. Unfortunately, it doesn't happen to all of us.

 

 

 

 

Whether you are single or married, young or old, you will have responsibilities (aka bills and expenses). It will never ever go away. You will always need food and shelter (the most basic of needs) and these will require money. In the ideal world, we'd all be doing what we love for a living - but we do not live in an ideal world.

 

 

 

 

Who says you cant have both? Take the road 1 for practical measures. Let this "road 1" fulfill your intellectual and monetary needs. Experience what the corporate world has to offer. You say you are only 23 - who knows, what you do for a living may eventually be one that makes you feel alive, diba? And then carve some time out of your schedule to pursue "road 2". Do it on the weekends, after work. If it gives you satisfaction and excites you, then you should do everything you can to make it happen. As they say, "pag gusto, may paraan. pag ayaw, maraming dahilan."

 

 

 

 

Remember that at the end of the day, the restrictions we have on ourselves are restrictions we put on ourselves.

 

 

 

 

Goodluck

When i was young, i was thinking only about money and how to get them. After all these years, I believe that now is the time to choose passion.

[MTC666TheDevil]

Most of the time it's passion.

[maginoo]

if you want money, just be passionate about making it.

[Jobs4Grabs]

Cashflow first especially if you have mouths to feed and bills to pay.

[SaintPeter5858]

Passion can actually make your work lighter

[SaintPeter5858]

I usually choose based on specific needs. No money? So I'd choose money

[Nikka Cheng]

[SaintPeter5858]

Passion if the prospect is also good

Passion is one of the many drivers to satisfaction.

Amortizations and tuitions to pay, i am left with no choice but to stay pansamantagal

 

[kimkinnison]

it's been 5 years since the OP posted, but: I choose passion.

 

After several long years working in a soul-crushing grind, it is refreshing to work for what you believe in. There will be challenges and no guarantee of success but you will truly feel alive and in control.
