Hi guys Whenever I look for a job I always choose the first thing that appears because sadly i have money difficulties but some people choose jobs before they take the first thing that appears and it is understandable if you finished university and if you have someone to support you. What do you guys act like? Please share your opinions

I know money is the number one reason for most jobs, but I like to find a job that suits my needs. Something I know that I'll love and excel at.

I agree with you carol i also prefer to choose a job that i like if i have the chance to choose between two jobs.sadly these days in my country is hard to find one job so finding two jobs and have the chance to choose is a one in a million chance

In this world we live in, you can't choose jobs anymore. Perhaps that was biggest mistake in the past, I've had a lot of opportunities but I blew it. I was lucky enough to have finished my education.

@sweetloveforeve Thrifting plays a vital role, though it's never easy, you can do it.

It depends on. If it is for graduated students, the money seems to be less important as they need to gain more working experience at first. If not, then money is a very important feature because he/she may support a family. If the paid is so low, it means less.

Yes i understand what you mean.if you are working while you study is just to earn extra money not to support a house so you can choose a job that pays a low salary. But sadly here in my country even if you live on your own or if you have a family to support you should accept the first thing that appears even a low salary because my country situation is complicated. It is very hard to find a job even if you are in your 20's so even people with kids have to accept the minimum salary otherwise they will be unemployed what is even worse

Money is important but also important is how comfortable is the feeling of that work.

Money is a very important part of job, and my decision might depend on it sometimes. Though if for a very big brand name, i may compromise on it.

Yes I understand money is also important. Yes big brands makes us feel confident that it will be a secure job at first.because big companies rarely fail even though sometimes it can happen.

A job is mostly done to earn money, and very few people do it just gor satisfaction. And its obvious that a person would do it for money

Yes sure we do it for money but what i am asking here is imagine that you lose your job.And someone offers you a job where the salary is like the minimum salary. Will you take this offer or keep looking for another one that pays you a higher salary?

@fazelath i understand and im happy that you have the chance to do it sadly in my case i couldnt do that because my family is with difficulties and i have to help them and being unemployed would be a big problem

Money was low on my list before I got my current job. I just wanted an employer that'd ignore nearly a decade of no work and no references to speak of.

You spent 10 years without a job? You mean that because you were studying back then or you didnt need to work? I know that sometimes people have a good life and sadly things change sometimes.

@sweetloveforeve I didn't need or want to work. Then when my savings started to run low I tried to get a job and that near ten year work gap didn't go down well with employers. Now I've got a job I like a lot but the money is as low as is legally able to be paid here.

@Mike197602 can i ask you how much is your salary? Mine is 600 euros but in my country 600 euros is a very low salary because if you rent a house you pay like 300 euros, then water, gas, electricity, food, transports... And you finish the month without money
