Money or Passion ?

K B Ng · 21st Jun 2006, 02:53 PM

Some people will give up well-paying jobs they don't like to do what they like to do. Or will they ? would you give up a well-paying job to do what you like ? do you think there are other reasons why people give up high-paying jobs ?

For me, it doesn't really matter since I can't find any passion working anything. So I guess the answer would be money.

If you don't like to do anything, why suffer because of lack of money and not enjoying the work at the same time?

Well.. I was speaking generally. that suddenly occurred to me because I seem to see a lot of that these days.. just read in the paper that a bank manager quit his job because they wouldn't give him enough leave to watch the World Cup.
