(09.02.27NA)Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? A job with more vacation time but a low salary is better than a job with a high salary but less vacation time.
How should people decide when choosing a job from two different types: one with a low salary but more vacation days; one with a decent salary but less time to rest? It’s a tough decision because people always have to make a compromise, leaving one tantalizing benefit behind. For me, I would love to work with a relatively lower salary but more vacation opportunities.
It’s pretty harmful for health when people focus most of their energy on working without proper rest and adjust. Especially, nowadays, heavy working pressure has resulted in both physical illness and psychological disorders. So, enough time to rest is quite in need. Taking many white-collars for example, it has been proved by tens of researchers hundreds of times that continuous sitting in front of the desk and operating a computer is seriously threatening. They often pain in their necks, backs and fingers after long time working. What’s worse, those uncomfortable feelings, couple with the measly vacation time, will contribute nothing but aggravate their mental stress, leading to poor efficiency at work and a dangerous cycle on health. At this point, a high salary helps no more than cut down one’s rest time using which people can relax and gain a healthy, more meaningful life.
Many people believe that earning more and resting less demonstrates their personal abilities and dedication spirit; however, to the contrary, the more knowledgeable and skilled one person is, the better he balances time and salary. There’re a lot of excellent art masters who earn rather less money just because they want to work with enough free time for cultivating their creative inspiration and accomplish greater works. In addition, one professor in my collage who worked for years as a simultaneous interpreter received both decent salaries and high respects once upon a time, but he resigned it and became a teacher. He tells us that he loves teaching. Moreover, he feels life is quite enjoyable during the two vacations each year. In this case, we can find out that achievable people always ignore salary comparing with personal time.
In fact, weighing a job needs one to have a discerning view of different aspects hiding behind it. Most people struggle to rap an opportunity of increasing their income, but meanwhile, amounts of them just cling to the ostensible decency regardless of health and true happiness. So, I won’t recommend people to choose a job with a high salary but less vacation time.
