Priorities, Let's Get Em' Straight

Some people believe that money is the key to happiness, I for one do not. Sure money can buy you jewelry, cars and laptops but you can't buy a true friend. you can't buy the unconditional love a mother has for her child, you can't buy a great life. It's just not possible. When looking for a job you shouldn't be thinking about "Where am I going to earn the most money?" you should be asking yourself one question: "What do I love to do and what do I want to be doing for the rest of my life?" Money is not the most important aspect in a job, loving your job is what's important. Sure a lawyer will make more money then an artist, but do you want to be stuck in a suit and tie for the rest of your life or live your dream and express yourself through your work. Do you want to come home from work unhappy everyday or glad that you have a job you love to do. Money should not be the most important factor when trying to get your dream job, your passion and determination to have the job you want should be enough to convince you pursue that dream no matter how much society puts you down by saying "You won't make much money" or "You won't survive in this economy." I won't claim to know what the key to happiness is but I know for one that money is not it, and money shouldn't be a top priority when trying to chase a job you love.

"Your profession is not what brings home your paycheck. Your profession is what you were put on earth to do. With such passion and such intensity that it becomes spiritual in calling."

~ Vincent Van Gogh
