erm.. i think this is serious question for all the working peoples out there.. i'm sure many would answer the first one right? but.. let's have a look.. if u study history on how people becoming rich.. they tend to advise us to take the low paying job.. why? why is it the opposite way? higher paying job will have higher tax.. and vice versa.. is it true? so.. which one you would prefer?

I think becoming rich has nothing to do with landing in a high-paying or low-paying job. Of course, you will easily get rich with a high-paying job.. but first of all... think about it... are you qualified?
For sure if you are qualified, why should you accept a low-paying job? I personally won't.
What they maybe saying is that: It is ideal to start from below and rise from the ranks.
For you will never be able to learn the ins and outs of the trade if you start straight from the top.

1st of all,not all countries have flexible tax on income.Mostly have fixed rate around 28-40%.So,if you have the quality to accept a high pay job,why bother taking up the low pay job?Pays signifies ur living standard.High pay u will be able to enjoy a better living and have extra cash to invest in order to get a better returns.Low pay job although have less stress..but ..the income could or couldnt support ur monthly expenditure or living.So,I think ...If i were given a high pay job,i will definitely accept it.

Hmm.. just wondering who those peoples u mentioned. Maybe u can name some of them who suggesting people to take the low paying job to get rich.
We cannot get rich by only choose the low or high paying job... i think there is no connection (sorry if i am wrong..)... there is another way..
But if it is about taxes and all that... definitely u have to pay higher tax if u have higher income.. so u have to do some calculation here... if you are offered higher paying job.. so will u earn more than before deduct the amount u paid as tax.
Before i landed this job, i have another offer with lower pay job. After do the calculation,my current job still better..
