There are many in these days sacrificing their area of interest to earn money. The problem with this is that they will not be able to give their 100% as it is not their passionate are to work (my personal opinion). Which category do you fall into? Have you come across such people? Your opinions on sacrificing the passionate area to earn more money.

Yes,just as you see,lots of people are willing to sacrify their interests for the privilege of earning more money to support their daily needs and wants,and this may give rise to some curious situations:people doing their work put their goal of earning money in the first place instead of the benefits of the company which they are working in,and thus cause the development of them to slow down.I am not a worker now and don't plan to get any job recently, I am still learning,and as far as I concerned ,working is similar to learning,the more you specialize in a area,the more you will become interested in it.

I am sorry for the stupid mistake I have made,the right word should be "sacrifice".

Hi my friend, When I used to work outside the home, I worked at an insurance agency and I really loved the work so I guess you could say I was working in my line of interest. Now that I am at home, I work online and I know that is right in line with my interest which is the internet. I agree with you that if someone works in their area of interest or passion, they will do a much better job of it. [i]Happy MyLotting, Char[/i]

I am second category, i am working for money rather than interest ! Why so is, Thou life is for our happiness, but over the period of time, it turns to keep life for others happiness which in turn gives happiness to us. Thats our family. So interest has been taken over by money, which leads to work for money. But still we can work for our interest like mylotting !!!
