[dakidz]

[KurtC]

if poss both.. but for now i prefer money then pag marami na pera.. passion naman..

[tik]

it doesn.t matter as long as your passion earns you the money you need

[markanthonychan]

I'd rather choose road 2 which is passion. But ironically, I found my self stuck in Road 1. It's giving me a decent pay, but the work load is sometimes unbearable...to the point na nagkakasakit nako. Given the sad underemployment rate here in the country.

[francismagbits]

earn s@%t loads of money until i dont need to work so that i can pursue my passion

[whapak00]

money....unless your passion brings you lots of moolah!

[storm]

Passion

[mc_darklight]

money.. have to be practical

[cali13gula]

sa ngayon money pa..to finance stuff that i'm passionate about later on

 

though ideal situation would be to make money out of things you are passionate about...well, that's why life is not fair

[evesdrop]

passion ..i should love what i do

or else i wont do it anymore

[jerix07]

pag nag-uumpisa talaga, passion, nandun pa kc strong idealism

 

pero as you age, nagiging money na

 

paano, one begins to realize that passion doesn't pays the bills

 

ganda talaga yung you make money out of the thing you are passionate

 

about - pero in the real world, bihira yata ganun.

[jagaimo]

[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"

yup...

 

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.
