if one day you are required to choose between a job which can make money and is very stable but u really don't like and a job from which you can't make money and is of adventures  but you are really interested in.

i must admit that i don't have courage to choose the later….........

What will you do?

Well, at the moment I don't have any idea unless I have to live on my own. I'd just do whatever pleases me coz I think it's important to enjoy what you're doing and if you aren't enjoying you might end up feeling miserable and annoyed and might even miss a lot of good things in life.

I'm not saying that money isn't important, money is essential in our lives and we should respect it coz without it there won't be any fun I admit it. What I mean is we must love what we are doing whole heartedly bcoz that will make our life pretty much easier.

 Anyhow, we can't always find the job that fully interests us but we can enjoy it somewhat by taking an interest in it. However, you may have a job that interests you but pays less..I don't think one would be satisifed! I think a higher paying job would be more satisfying because of the higher pay. This may compensate for the fact that the job may even be boring. Therefore. It's be better to obtain the job that improves your earning potential, as this accomplishement will enable you to do a lot of things you had been previously unable to do and much of your extra pay can be spent on an enjoyable hobby. This is much nicer than having a hobby that you can't afford.

I Think that people should do those thing in which they find immense pleasure and happiness, without hurting anybody else.

Money is secondary thing, first thing is satisfaction that a people gets from doing those jobs , that they love to do.without hurting others.

it depends on each person, well, for me. i'd take the job that gets me good money and i will try my best to enjoy it, so i can keep up with it. 

although the payment isn't that really important if it suits me well.
