8-28作业
(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.
So far as I am concerned, I prefer getting more vacation to getting more salary from a job, as long as the basic salary is enough for me to lead a decent life. However, it is hard to compare two jobs only by the ratio of vacation to salary they offer, as many other factors also counts, like their contents, social respect they can bring etc. Even If all these other factors about the two jobs are equal, it is still not easy to compare the two jobs which offer different amount of salary and vocation. For example, assuming there were two basically same jobs, one of which offer one more day as vocation a year while the other offer one million dollars more salary a year. Well, one million dollars for one day! I it is not a difficult choice for most people to make. Therefore the following two jobs that will be compared in this essay should be basically same, which means the only difference between them should be the different ratio of salary to vocation they offer, besides the difference of salary and vocation should be proper, for example, the more salary one job offer should properly cover the more vocation the other offer.
Under the assumption above, we are finally on a safe ground to compare the two kinds of jobs. From my prospect of view, I think a job with more vocation is much better than a job with more salary.
More vocation means more free time, in which one can do whatever he/she want to, of course under the law. If there were more vocation, mothers could spend more meaningful time with their children, which would build up many more sweet childhoods. If there were more vocation, friends could spend more time hanging out together, which would build up many more joyful friendships. If there were more vocation, couples could sharing more beautiful time together, which would build up many more happy families. After all, life is full of multitudes, people need freedom, which money can hardly give, to chase their dreams and happiness.
A job does not necessarily mean a course or even a career. Many people take jobs that they do not like very much, only for the money they need. For them I think it is not worth to sacrifice valuable vacation for more salary. Even for people who love their job or who treat their jobs as long term careers or courses, I still think it is not necessary for them to sacrifice their vocation for more salary. They can still do something related to their job that they loves on vocation while in a much easier mood without any pressures from workdays, bosses, and colleagues.
To sum up, comparing two basically same jobs with proper differences in salary and vocation, from my point of view, the one with more vocation is much better than the one with more salary, as people need time to take care of other aspects of their lives, which money can hardly help. |
