What is more important, salary or work?

I think salary is important..bcoz there are many people who are working without interest..but there is no one working without salary..

This depends on the needs of you and your family. Sometimes we have to make sacrifices. A bad job with a good salary is best when you need to keep up on bills, build your savings, and support a family. A good job with a low salary is good for someone with fewer financial obligations. A low salary is relative to one's idea of a well paying salary. This idea is influenced by opinion as well as one's average earnings throughout his or her work history as well as cost of living.

There is no comparison of both, if someone tell you he has a good job, it also meant that he is getting pay well in salary. All bad jobs pay poorly and come with small salary with no benefits. In today work place, you can not find a bad job with high salary, every high salary job is good job. There is nothing for me to choose, if i am having a good job, it meants i have a high paying job. hahaha....

If you come to think of it, salary comes first. It's the usual answer. It's the most common one and it's the first thing that comes to mind. The reason why most of us work is because of our financial goals. It's seldom, especially in our country where most are underpaid, even professionals at that, would look for a job because of the convenience alone. Job seekers have money and salary as the priority before career advancement and job description. Unlike in other countries, especially the richer ones, most people there would look for a job because they want to work with certain people, they want to be a part of a particular company and they want the kind of job that a place offers, because more often than not, compensation is well established. It's a given. Anyway, if it were me, I'd still look for a job where the job allows me to grow as a professional and individual, and with great compensation plan for employees.

For people who have something to fall back-- work is important. For those who depend on salary income for day to day living --salary is important. For me now after retirement-- work is important.

When we first apply for a job, the very first thing that we take into consideration is the salary. But it is also equally important that we like the job that we are doing.

I hope my salary is high and my job is my hobby, and if I were to choose one, that would be salary coz I need it to survive. I don't think I can stay to a job that is bad and salary is low, a job where salary is low but the environment is good either. Although some companies offer you good salary, the environment is bad, I will resign immediately whereas some companies with average work will make me stay longer.

Good salary? :) Do we ever have that limit? lol Never mind, I am the kind if that "low" salary is enough for sustenance, I would pick that job otherwise, I would tilt towards "good" salary job. Once the low salary job allows me adequate experience, job satisfaction, greater interest in job and movement up the ladder, I would jump to another job that paid better and held similar career path for me. :) But sustenance is crucial..so if Low salary is not good enough, I wont take that job.

tricky question ,as always, all love salary and me too, and no one will offer us salary without work , so have to prefer both, work satisfaction is also very important , without which we cant work even if they pay high /good salary, it depends in which situation i am, if i need more money and with low bank balance i may prefer good salary for some time, to increase my bank balance and choose the not so good job, but if have good bank balance from before then i choose good job with low salary.

hi, there how are you of course salary if you like money and if you are there for the money, but if you like your work then it is vital to get money to keep doing wha tou do is not that right, i mean if you do work only for the sake of work then maoney come from ?

Firstly, do, give and prove your best. Then only you have the right to ask for the right salary. Never ask for the pay or rise or even a promotion before your prove your best. You can leave if you think your employer is still undervalue your capabilities after that.

A job with a good salary is tempting in every way, at least initially. When choosing a job I think it is important to ask yourself if this is something you will still be enjoying 10 years later, or even more. The thing is that you are going to spend most of your waking hours in that job, so it is important to enjoy it. If the salary is too low to live on then I would not recommend that either because no matter how much you enjoy it you will get bitter in the end. It is unfortunate and unfair that in many cases jobs in the caring professions are badly paid.

For me, liking the work is more important than the salary. I do understand money should be most important, but going for a job I can somewhat enjoy does not mean I would do it for a low/bad payment.

Salary is much important.

It depends on your needs but most of the time work doesn't matter as long as the salary is good. In our country, you can find different good job but the salary very low. If you work abroad, you will wondering why people still like to work in a place where the job is hard compared to their previous job in the Philippines. This means salary matters to them.

Enjoying your job is important but you can tolerate a lot in life. With the economy at an all time low the salary is the top most interest your should have right now. At least you are making good money and hopefully have benefits. While doing what you don't like you can always look for something you might like better without having to be on the unemployment line.

The best thing is to enjoy job plus the salary itself. Some has the highest paid salary scheme, but they are not happy. Simply, they are not satisfied in their working environment.

For me as long as the job is good and not illegal i will go for the salary.

Salary ofcourse. You work because you want to earn money. It's not that you work just for free, right? That's my highest priority because that is the one who supports me and my family. Before, I had two choices to make, it's either to work in a bank or be an online teacher at home. I chose to be an online teacher. Why? Because it has a better pay than being a teller in a bank. Yes, the office in the bank is air-conditioned and you wear some corporate attire but what about the salary? It's just low. I'm not saying bad against a banker or someone who works in a bank. This is just based on my experience. I chose to be an online teacher because the pay is high and I work per hour and I can limit the time of my work. :D

The two should always go hand in hand. At first, you'll get attracted with the amount of the salary you have been offered. But when the time comes that you are not enjoying your work anymore, you're just going to leave your company even though it's paying you a good salary. Now on the other hand, if you really love the work and that's what you really want to do everyday and makes you happy, but you are getting paid less, you also have the tendency to leave. Nobody wants to be overworked but underpaid. I guess it should be balanced. If you are enjoying your work, you're happy with the environment, and happy with with how you deal with your superiors and workers plus the factor that you are getting the right compensation, that's the dream job you're looking for. =)
