A lower-paying job with shorter hours that would give you more vacation time is better than a high-paying job that would give you less vacation time?

I totally agree that a job with low payment but more leisure time is better. Since money is not the most vital things I pursue, it's quite reasonable for me to choose a job which can bring a happy and healthy life. What's more, it can also make me work more effectively with high quality.

First, though we should admit that money is important in almost every aspect of life, my outlook of life is not money-oriented. As long as the payment is enough to afford everyday life, I won't care much about whether the paying is high or not.

Then, what do I really want to pursue?

The first thing coming into my mind is a healthy body. I've heard myriads of stories about successful ones but with heavy diseases. Here, the success is measured by the paying. Try to imagine a person who works hard and rarely owns the time to take a rest. Though he may earn a lot of money, which is spent to purchase beautiful houses, new cars, he is so tired that becomes vulnerable to all kinds of diseases. When he retires and wants to enjoy life, he finds that he can never do that because he is suffering diseases hard to cure. So, to get high payment is often at the cost of one's health, while the kind of job I prefer is not likely to bring such problems.  

The second thing I seek for is the sense of happiness. We come to the world not to put pressure on ourselves but to enjoy life. If a person is always depressed and unhappy, money doesn't make sense at all, no matter how much money a person possesses. Once I get a job with shorter work time and more vacation, I'll make use of the spare time to relax myself and do what I'm really interested in. I can travel to see the blue sea and golden beach in Greece, the mysterious forests in South America, the flower seas in Holland. I can also spend the leisure time on singing, playing piano and learning different languages. All these stuff can help me achieve the sense of happiness.

In addition, I also concern about how much value I can create for the society, which is not utterly dependent on the time I work. Long time work often makes you less effective and make more errors. The loss is greater than the gain. Thus, for higher working quality, a job with more vacation time is a more ideal choice.
