High Salary or Happiness?

February 3, 2017 12:40pm CST
Recently, I was kinda confuse and thinking about different things with regards to my current work. As of now I'm working as a government employee in the Philippines. Well basically, I applied for this job because the workplace is near in our house and second is because of the salary. Because I got a quite higher position the salary is quite high among the other employees. The job also is not that hard because I'm assigned on our extension office so we only transact few people everyday. But as time goes by, I feel like I'm not enjoying the job I have right now or maybe I didn't really enjoy the job and I just want the salary. I don't know. I feel like this is not what I want to do and I don't want to get stuck with this job. Please give me some advice. Should I still continue this job I have right now or find the things that I want to do even though the salary may not be as good as the one I have right now. Feel free to leave your advice and opinions in the comment box. Thanks guys. :)

To be honest, I don't know what to say. What if the salary is not enough for expenses, won't you be unhappy again? It's a difficult decision to make in this kind of situation.

Yeah right. Though I have my savings but in Ph cost of living is too expensive. I'm afraid someday I won't be able to buy things I want.

My advise is go with salary because we work for earning not for enjoyment its depend on us how we enjoy the work.
