Which is more important to you: your profession, job, or the money you get for the work?

The world class people always focus on profession rather than on money. Money is just the tiny part of reward for our professional work. The more we focus on money the more it will repel us.The more we are focus on our work it will generate unlimited fringe benefits along with money.

The money is more a shadow game when we are after it, its shadow will always ahead of us and when we will ahead ourselves before the shadow of money it will try to catch us but never be able to do so.

It's much more important for me to be happy with my work, but earning more money in a satisfying job is always better.

 

When I became a teacher I left a very well-paying career. In effect, I traded for a job that would pay bout 20% of my former salary but leaves me about 1000% happier.

Definitely my career, because teaching and law enforcement is the two lowest paid professions. I quit a job making close to 100k to do what I love, helping people. Money does not make a person happy. I work two jobs now and make about 25k less a year but I’m happy and enjoy working!

I would prefer to choose career first then money

I always thinking about profesionalism the more you are focus in your work the more you received merits as far as I am concerned It 's better to have a happy career rather than paying high salary but your're unhappy. Money is only a medium or a token to people.
