Should I do my favorite job or make more money? This seems to be a dilemma for people in the workplace about their career development? What we like to do is sometimes difficult to make money, and the work that can make money is often something we don't like very much. Faced with such a choice, what should we consider? Below, I will share with you some articles about whether to do my favorite job or a more profitable job.

Should I do my favorite job or make more money? 1 a young man doing interior design, his question: "I feel that I have no direction, and now I quit. I don't know what to do next? " He hoped to find the direction through the evaluation, so I helped him with the consultation.

Judging from the evaluation results and his actual situation, he is very interested in interior design and his personality characteristics are also suitable for doing it. He admitted it himself, but in the end he got to the real problem. In fact, he talked about a girlfriend who is currently in a long-distance relationship. He hopes to earn more money and buy a house.

At present, the young man faces two choices:

First, find a reliable company, be a design assistant and concentrate on the design work, instead of reaching the threshold of the big company he yearns for at the current level.

Second, learn to do a little business. His family doesn't think he can earn much money in his current job. I hope he can help in other people's stores in the future, start a small business by himself and earn more money.

So do what you like? Or make money first?

For this question, my first thought is values:

Frankly speaking, when I first graduated, I didn't think about what I really liked to do. The only thing I feel anxious about is to make money quickly. Yes, I am short of money! (Most people will face this situation just after graduation, right? )

Fortunately, however, I found that making money is also a pleasure. At that time, when I was doing sales, I would take a calculator and calculate how much commission I could get and how much salary I could get at the end of the month. I am very motivated and happy to think about it.

So I found my interest through this process. I like to deal with people, I like the excitement and anxiety of negotiating before checkout, and I like to hear the sound of the cashier when I get paid. It feels very wonderful.

Therefore, making money is also an interest. Did you succeed?

All right, back to values. When you face the above questions about consulting customers, you can try to rank the values first and see what is most important to you at this stage.

9 common professional values:

High salary and good welfare;

Stable and safe work;

Good interpersonal relationship;

Comfortable working environment;

Can give full play to their abilities and specialties;

Have a high social status;

Need demand and make great contributions;

Not nervous at work;

Receive education;

Think it over and write it down:

1, which is the most important to you? Why?

2. What is the most important thing for you? Why?

3. Which is the least important to you? Why?

4. Which is not important to you? Why?

The answer given by consulting customers before is:

1, the most important thing is that the work is not tense and the external pressure is small;

2. The second important thing is high salary and good welfare;

3. The least important thing is high social status;

4. The second thing that is not important is the huge social demand and contribution;

Of course, the answers he wrote need further clarification, so we should ask ourselves more why? Perhaps the answer you wrote directly may not really be the true answer in your subconscious, which requires thinking and repeated confirmation.

When you clarify your professional values, you also list your requirements for this job. What must be satisfied? What can be abandoned?

In addition to values, "Do what you like or make money?" It also depends on the current stage of your needs:

People's needs are constantly changing with their own development. From physiological needs to value realization, it needs to be met step by step. For example, a person who has just graduated must first meet the physiological and safety needs, be able to afford food and rent a house, basically maintain his own life, and consider survival before development.

If you have more financial support from your family at this time, you don't have to worry too much about your life. Maybe most people will consider their interests first, find a job they still like, or have a buffer time to explore what they really like? But if there is little family support and you are under great pressure at this time, you certainly need to solve the most important problem at present: survival.

But there will be differences based on everyone's concept and bottom line of survival. For example, some people think that as long as they have food and shelter, they will solve the problem of survival, but some people think that they must earn money to buy a house and a car to solve the problem of survival. Therefore, how high the requirements for living conditions are in your mind will also affect your choice of work.

I have seen some people earn more than 100,000 yuan a year (note that this is a good salary level in second-and third-tier cities) and work hard to make money every day. I asked him why he didn't consider changing his favorite direction. He said, "Not just for living!"

If you set the bottom line for your survival too high, it will take a long time. You need to do things for your own "survival" and dare not say.

When I resigned from school to do career planning consultation myself, I certainly thought about this problem, so I have been making capital reserves. This money can support me to stop working for three years and maintain my current living standard (certainly not a very high level), so I can try my best to do what I want to do. Now, of course, doing what you like will pay off, and it's not too bad.

Next I want to talk about "ability".

I believe that the choice of career is essentially a test of ability, whether it is doing what you like or making money, especially making money requires higher ability. Of course, I ruled out the opportunity. In the years when house prices soared, many people made a lot of money by buying houses with their eyes closed, but unfortunately without me. ).

No matter what you like, no matter how you make money, you need the support of your ability, which means that no matter how you choose, you need to practice your corresponding ability, so you don't need your ability to do small business. There are more than 10 hair salons in the street below my home, which is less than 2 kilometers long. As soon as I saw it, they opened a batch and turned yellow. In a few days, another batch appeared and turned yellow again. Few people persist for several years. Maybe it's because they have developed and changed to a bigger store, but according to my investigation, they don't look alike! )

Don't think that choosing to make money is an easy road, especially for people who are not interested in making money. I don't feel that cultivating various skills on the road is a test in itself, not to mention how do you know that you will definitely make money on this road? Refer to my previous article "Everyone who washes dishes wants to be a programmer with an annual salary of 200,000".

Many seemingly profitable occupations, you may not make money when you go. The premise is that whether you like it or not, you must have the ability to make money first, or cultivate the ability to make money first. At this time, you can have a choice: do I choose to make more money or do what I like? Otherwise, it is a false proposition.

It's easy to do what you like? Don't! As a profession, the first condition to be satisfied is that customers must pay for it. For example, I like design, but my customers don't approve of me at all. This career is at stake, it is difficult to get a return, and naturally it will not last.

For example, I like doing training, consulting and writing articles, but if I don't get paid back and spend all my money, I will definitely return to the right path. The first condition of a career is that there is customer demand and someone pays the bill, otherwise it is not a career, just a hobby.

The point where customers recognize and pay the bill is your service ability. Whether providing tangible products or intangible products, you need skills to get them.

So when my ability is insufficient, I think it is hypocritical to talk about liking or making money. No matter which way you choose, cultivate yourself first.

Finally, I want to say: career choice itself is a process of constant compromise between your own needs and external conditions. What we like doesn't necessarily make money, and those who make money don't necessarily like it, so what we need to do is to observe the current situation: what is most important to you? Constantly adjust yourself according to changes in external conditions.

Maybe you found your interest on the way to making money, or maybe you made money slowly in the process of taking interest as a career. These are not fixed procedures.

Should I do my favorite job? Or a more profitable job? The key is to read your own mind.

Should I do my favorite job or make more money? Step 1: Before making a choice, think about what you need now.

Please understand that you need it, not want it.

You don't have to rise to the value of life, just simply what you need now.

For example, your parents have some incurable diseases and are in urgent need of money for treatment. There is no doubt that you must do that profitable job as quickly as possible. For example, you have bought a house or a car, and the monthly payment makes you breathless, but you still can't let go of the house and the car. The reasons vary from person to person. Maybe because you don't have a house or a car, your daughter-in-law will divorce you, and your parents and children have no place to live. If you can't solve these problems, then you must do the job that makes money the fastest.

In other words, as human beings, not animals, we should first consider our position and responsibilities. Although we are indeed independent individuals, we can't ignore the people we love. This is the most basic requirement.

If you encounter a similar situation as I said, don't hesitate, please focus on making money first, even if you work more, because your favorite job may not be realized immediately, nor can it solve your urgent needs.

It's not that you can't do what you like, the most urgent thing is to solve more important problems. This is a utilitarian world, especially when you are passive, you should cater to this world. Please correct your attitude. No shame, and I didn't let you give up your heart. Facing the bleak life is just the right choice.

Of course, other situations based on moral kidnapping, such as "your mother thinks", need not be considered.

Step 2: If you don't need it now, please think about what you want.

Money? Desire? Status? Or ... happy?

Everyone has their own dreams and pursuits, whether utilitarian or not, as long as they are legal, they deserve our respect.

So you need to ask yourself, what do you want, endless money? Is it to reach the top of power and status? Or simply happy? Well, many of us actually want it all, but we are too greedy, but this is the performance of not knowing what we want!

In this case, especially at work, we should choose according to one principle, that is, the sense of accomplishment.

If you don't know what you want, choose the job that gives you the most sense of accomplishment. This must be the job you are most suitable for and good at. Because a sense of accomplishment will bring you inner satisfaction, which is the best proof of your ability. You can stimulate your self-confidence and find your own position by constantly building a sense of accomplishment. A confident person may not be successful, but a successful person must be confident. This is your own wealth.

Of course, there will be trial and error in this process, but no one is born smooth sailing. Instead of being confused, it is better to try all kinds of jobs, and then choose the one that can give you the most sense of accomplishment, whether he likes it or not, which can best reflect his self-worth. That's a success.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, as long as you have a lasting sense of accomplishment, just like loving someone, it may be slower, but it will last for a long time. In the long run, you will love this job!

Step 3: If you know exactly what you want, you must choose a job you like.

To put it bluntly, how many people in this world can do their favorite jobs all their lives? In fact, only a few people know what they want and have enough conditions (if they are not short of money, please go back to the first step! It is a great happiness to choose the job you like.

There are too many kinds of jobs, so what kind of job do you like?

There are * * * similarities, and the characteristics are as follows:

0 1, you are willing to transcend money, status, and even put down your dignity.

02, you are willing to regardless of gains and losses, even regardless of success or failure.

You are willing to work overtime, devote yourself wholeheartedly, and even sacrifice your health.

After doing this job, I don't want to change jobs.

Yes, don't imagine your favorite job as beautiful. Sometimes it's so extreme to do what you like. There are always people who claim to be doing what they like, but they have been complaining and complaining. Sorry, that's not his favorite job.

Since there are so many side effects, why are we all eager to do our favorite jobs? Because doing the work you like may not be successful, but you will definitely get the happiness you have never experienced before!

When you open your eyes every morning and think that you can do what you love, it will naturally light up.

Even if I work overtime, I am willing. No, that's not overtime, it's enjoyment!

It doesn't matter even if you don't eat, because you will completely forget about hunger!

What is the state of forgetting to eat and sleep? This is the state when you do what you like.

Step 4: No matter what you choose, don't struggle.

If you give up the opportunity to start a business in pursuit of comfort, don't envy your peers when they become bosses; If you give up your original principles in pursuit of power and status, then don't look at others' simple lives and feel resentful.

Of course, correspondingly, if you give up a high-paying job in pursuit of simple happiness, then don't think about LV bags all day; If you give up nine to five to pursue your dreams, don't complain that you don't have time when your friends are idle for parties all day!

No matter which one you choose, please regard your work as a career, have a minimum of professionalism, and do every little thing in your hand to the extreme with a pious attitude. This is the model of successful people.

On the road to fighting alone

Although most people live a comfortable life, there are actually many people who are unwilling to be mediocre and eager to embark on a more bohemian and dangerous road to create a life that is not necessarily extraordinary but absolutely different.

The real misfortune is to wait and see, dare not pursue, and finally keep the wrong choice and restless heart for a lifetime.
