Why Peoples Are Prefer To Work Only For The Money Instead Of Satisfaction

Hello Friends, There are big difference between money and satisfaction, most of the peoples would prefer to get the employment with good self satisfaction along with good earning too. But recently many of them would always prefer to work only for money and never bother about their satisfaction on their jobs. Do you prefer to work only for money or both?

Hi, basically our first target is money and we work for that to satisfy our day to day need and to fulfil our requirements. But as and when the time passes by then we look out for job satisfaction as well because by that time we are earning sufficient for our needs. The phase changes and then we look for position or designations. Money is one of the important factor for all , like even if you are getting a good designation or positon but less money then you will not prefer to take up that job, but ofcourse when the payscale is good and when your are progressing then you look for designation and position. And ofcourse then comes the job satisfaction as well, when you are getting paid properly and enjoying your work. SO it depends on phase in which the person is going through. I prefer now position rather than money as I have passed through that phase and earning a decent amount, but ofcourse if I get a chance with high payscale and have to comprimise a bit with the position I am ready to do that as well.lol [babshish]
Hi Bab, The money is very important in the real life and vital for the necessity and basic needs, that was the main reasons most of the peoples would opt for the jobs to earn the money. As you have stated that when the person gaining good amount of earning from the jobs and then later he /she would prefer to take up the employment with good position and destination, to have the great satisfaction in the jobs. So still the money is very important factor in the reality and would prefer always to have the better life. So much more peoples would like to make the adjustment for their satisfaction and designation with more money , so vital area is money. That was the reasons most of the peoples would give the preference to the money than the self satisfaction in the jobs. So we would try our best to have the good jobs with more self satisfaction and good earning too to have the better life in the real society. Have a wonderful day. [Binthu]


Dear Binthu, in these days, no honey, no sunny only Money brings satisfaction to the people. hence they work for money only. [esjosh]
Hi Josh, The money is more vital part in the real life, because most of our necessity would be completed and satisfied with the helps of the money. That was the reasons all the peoples would prefer to work for the money and never care about the self satisfaction on their jobs. So many of them always prefer to get the jobs first and then will looks for the great and good destination in the same profession because of the great self satisfaction. Still they are ready to make the compromise in front of the money, because as I have informed that money is the vital part to each and everything in the life. So it is really too difficult to have the self satisfaction in the jobs, because self satisfaction will not gives us more money but without money just satisfaction does not much helpful in the real life. So we should try our best to have the better jobs with good grade along with nice earning too. Have a excellent day. [Binthu]

[yogeshmmm]
Hi Yogesh, I am really appreciating your great and deep love to your self satisfaction on your jobs, and also it would be varied from one person to another, as you have been known that most of the peoples would prefer to choose the better earning to have the better life in the world. Similarly most of the peoples never bother about their ambition and preference even any destination, because they just need to get the money to make the life more comfortable. Because money is vital part of the life and it has the power to compensate everything in the real life. So when you have the good jobs and then passed the period after some time you will may looks for the better destination to have the great self satisfaction, still it is not very straight, and make the possibility to bend with the better earning of nice salary. So it would depends upon the peoples those who are really looking to get the self satisfaction in their jobs. Have a nice day. [Binthu]


Hi bhnthu, peoples prefer to work only for money because in today's age money comes after satisfaction in priorities of human life. [vishalkgupta]
Hi Gupta, True, most of the peoples would love the money in the real life, because we have been known that it is the vital power to our life and must need to fulfilled our basic necessity of foods, homes, education, and medical services. That was the reasons most of the peoples would always prefer to give the top priority to the money in the jobs, and never considered the self satisfaction because the money is more important than the satisfaction. A person would always prefer to choose a jobs with high earning, and never ever asked about the self satisfaction on that particular jobs, after some times, he would earned good money, and then may looking for the satisfaction from that jobs, and requested for the best place or destination to have the self satisfaction. Still he or she is ready to compensate the satisfaction with the money , because of the necessity and importance in the real life. Have a great day. [Binthu]



Hi Binthu, back in the 1980s when I started in IT in England, I had a job that I loved. Problem was that every month paying the bills was becoming more and more difficult, to the point that you would start running up debt far beyond a level with which you could cope. The company wanted to keep me, but they could not afford to pay substantial pay raises at the time, and sadly I had to leave them just to keep my head above water. I am sure that my experience there is not dissimilar to those of other people. Job satisfaction is very important, but you have to live as well. [astonysh]
Hi Astonysh, I am really appreciated that you are too facing the same situation in the real life, and it was very worst that we can not able to manage our life with limited income or earning from the jobs. So the money is the power and more necessity to our life to make the compensation to get basic needs of everything in the life. So we can not looks on the satisfaction without money, so that was the reasons most of us always given the preference to the money in the jobs than the self satisfaction. When I was working with one of the well reputed company at the top class grade as a country manager, I am used to pay very less salary and very difficult to manage the life according to my life style, so I was so happy on the satisfaction but with regards to money I was not, that was the reasons I have left that company. So each and every peoples would looks for the better salary in their jobs than the satisfaction. Have a great day. [Binthu]


yeah, that is the most reasons many work because of money and for security reasons. As when a person do not have money then he is compare to lesser category, alive but useless when their is nothing to contributes. Especially in a family who are in desperate need to earn and yet only one member have job or the sole provider which become unfair when no one in the family do their shares. Even though, some have desire to work in a job where they feel happy still many work in order to have income to survive and that is the cases of many people they have no choice. Even though recently retrench from their job need to accept job lower in their category that to have no job even the job which have meager income or far away from their profession or have little skills. [neelianoscet]
Hi Neeli, Money is always more important in the real life to satisfy the basic needs of good foods, good house, good clothes, good education, and good medical services, that was the reasons most of the peoples would prefer to choose the higher paying jobs than the satisfaction . So the money is the vital power in the reality to have the happiness in the life, so we should always take care on the earning or higher salary . A person would prefer to choose the jobs first with any salary, and then he would prefer to choose the best place or good destination in the same job to have the self satisfaction, but still he or she always ready to make the adjustment to the earning, and never concentrated on the self satisfaction in the real jobs. So we should try our best to get the good jobs with higher salary prior to enjoy the real life with all happiness. Have a nice day. [Binthu]

Right now, I work for money. People would choose satisfiction when they don't have to worrry about money, when they are rich, but I am poor now. So I choose money over satisfiction. It's reasonable, we can't care about our feelings when we still have to worry about what do we eat tomrrow. It's a truth. [pengbubu]

Yeah Binthu, what you said is the right. I prefer satisfaction and to earn for working and being satisfied. Am a student and not yet entered in to the earning world. Perhaps at that time, i may have to change my opinion as today money is the God of man, and money makes every thing possible. Many of our teachers say us to ask doubts and clear it at the moment itself, and move on to the next topic only after all they doubts have been cleared. They say about the same satisfaction of their work, and if there is no response from the students they say they won't get the satisfaction.Good Day friend.. [abhaijith]
Hi Aijith, Most of the peoples would prefer to get the money in their jobs than the satisfaction because of the necessity and importance . As you have been known that the money has the vital power in the real world and would have the courage to fulfill the basic necessity of foods, clothes, house, education, and medical services. So looking for the money in the particular profession or in the work is not fault, because everyone need the money in the real life. When the person would starts to earn the money from his or her jobs for some times and then would try their best to get the good post or good destination because of to have the self satisfaction in that jobs, still they are ready to make the compromise if there is a possibility to get a more salary. So that was the reasons all the peoples always looking for the money from their jobs than the satisfaction. Have a great day. [Binthu]

Hi Yuga, True, many of the peoples always given the preference to the money in the jobs and never expect anything particularly self satisfaction in that jobs. Because we have been known that money is vital power in the practical world and would necessary to have the basic needs of foods, clothes, house, education, and good medical services, so the needs and necessity are keep on going on in the family and in the life, that was the reasons peoples are also demanding more money on their jobs. As a normal man or women would always prefer to work at any jobs for some time to make the money, and then if she is fine with income and then try for good destination in that profession or jobs to get the self satisfaction, but she is still ready to make the compromise the own interest and satisfaction for the money. So we can not blame anybody due to this, because money is all in the life. Have a wonderful day. [Binthu]


While I would love to work for satisfaction, it doesn't pay the bills. I would love to do something else, but I can't. I have children to feed and a house to pay for. Fortunately, I have my free time to do things that I enjoy and find satisfaction with. [Minella]
Hi Minella, Welcomes to our wonderful site of myLot.com Most of the peoples would love to make the money from the jobs instead of satisfaction because of the needs and necessity in the real life.

When the person would like to work at particular jobs for long time, and then she is feels more comfort on money, then think about the satisfaction and looking for the higher destination from the jobs, but still she is ready for the compromise because of the excess money or excessive earning instead of satisfaction. So the money has vital power in the real life and would required by every peoples to have the better life in the real society. Have a nice day. [Binthu]


Hi Binthu, I definitely would prefer to work for both money and satisfaction but it is not very possible in times like this when having a job is already like having food for your everyday meal. Why I would say this is simply because I have been looking to secure a job for months (unsuccessfully). BUT if given the choice, I would like to work for both so everyday, I will have a great sense of achievement. I believe many people out there also have the same thought as me. [warvial]
Hi Warvial, The peoples must be more happy when they are getting the jobs for higher earning as well as good satisfaction, but unfortunately it is too rare and also very difficult to get both together. Because money is very much important prior to make the basic necessity of foods, clothes, house, education and medical services, so without money it is too difficult to manage the life. That was the main reasons most of the peoples would always looking for better earning than the satisfaction. They are some peoples those who are looking for a job and have been worked for long time and then they are more comfort on economy finally looking for the satisfaction on that jobs, still they are ready to make the compromise if possible to get more money . So all are depends upon the matter of money and power . Have a excellent day. [Binthu]


I need the money. There is no denying that. I am even thinking about going back to a job i hated because I need a steady income. My social secerity disibility isn't enough. So I need to live. Without money I wouldn't have food, or anything else I need. and I would be wondering the streets. I don't want, nor need that. The problem is, with work condintions and unemployment at an all time high, people are finding it harder and harder to just get buy. Money is required for everything and you can't get by on good looks alone. Most people in this world are in the same position as myself. They need the income to get by and keep the basics needed to survive. Because if you can't survive, nothing else really matters does it? So quite often people give up their happyness just for survival. [kaylachan]
Hi Chan, Money is more vital in entire world and also it is more important to enjoy our life and even the money is must to have the basic necessity like foods, clothes, house, education, and medical services, that was the reasons most of the peoples would prefer to looking for the money on their jobs and never been interested on their satisfaction in that jobs. When the person is more interested on particular work, and been working for long time and then find self satisfaction , still he or she is ready to make the compromise to get more earning or salary from that jobs. So money is the power in this world, and can do anything with some exceptions. Still we are always given the preference to the money in the jobs than the self satisfaction. We should try our best to have the better jobs which will provide the good earning as well as good self satisfaction. Have a nice day. [Binthu]


Money is on most minds these days, for this country there is more poverty than wealth. I am trying to get a career started in social work to help the people in need rather than make myself rich. Clients first. Many people might think this way in the start, but some things change along the way. Hopefully not for me down the road. My values have been raised to social work standards when I was growing up, so I don't believe I will change. Hope Others catch the bug... [lowloy]
Hi Low, Earning is also has more priority than the self satisfaction, because without earning we can not live in this world. Money is very much important to have our basic necessity of foods, clothes, house, education, and medical services. That was the main reasons most of the peoples always would prefer to get more salary from the jobs than the self satisfaction. As you have informed that money is a basic concept in everybody life because of the vital power, so we must need that to have the better life in the real society. Self satisfaction is also very important but when you have compared with earning , it is nothing. So better to have the jobs with high earning and also looks for the great self satisfaction , prior to enjoy the life as well as the profession. Have a great day. [Binthu]


Hi Binthu, I can't stay in a job I am not happy in. It may be different for other people. There have been times I just wanted to quit straight away but because of responibilities to my family, I could not and would not do that. I just had to search for another job and bide my time until I came across something that I felt I would be happy with and where the pay was similar if not better. If you're not happy at work you're going to be bringing the stress home, which does not help the family at all.So, I need the money but I need to be happy in my job at the same time.It's not always easy to find both but you just got to keep lookinghappy Fiona. [fmpisces]
Hi Fiona, Very true, getting good earning with self satisfaction from a jobs is too difficult, similarly those who are getting both together are really so lucky. As you have mentioned that money is very important in our life at least it is very much need for getting our basic necessity of foods, clothes, house, education, and good medical services, so without this basic necessity it is too difficult to live in this world. Most of the jobs would not gives both together , and was the reasons we are always looking for the better jobs at every time. So at least we have to try our best to have the good jobs which much give good earning and also excellent self satisfaction prior to enjoy our life and profession too. So we all are hope that it will happen at soon. Have a excellent day. [Binthu]


If one has a "job", it only means the person needed money to meet our daily needs. It would be better if one's job is the job he/she really wants. Many people ended up in jobs that they don't loved just because they needed one. Exemptions to my point of view are those volunteering jobs which do not pay salaries (ex. Red Cross). Those people doing it would definitely say they loved doing it and they are all satisfied with what they are doing. [Fulltank]
Hi Tank, The self satisfaction is varied from person to person and also the earning also very important to make our life more meaningful to get the basic necessity of foods, clothes, house, education, and medical services. So without earning we can not push our life in this world, that was the main reasons everyone looking for a jobs with good earning , which will supports us to give the better life to the kids and to the family members. Finding the self satisfaction in the jobs is too difficult, because of many more reasons. Still we should try our best to find a jobs with good earning along with self satisfaction to enjoy the life as well as to our profession. As you have mentioned that there are peoples those who are always to happy to do more services to the society and community, because they are too rich and never bother about the earning in their life. Have a nice day. [Binthu]


Money is an important factor in today's world. However, with time one has to enjoy one's work. Otherwise, all the unhappinss pent up will explode. I feel money is essential, but if I don't feel self motivated to go to work, I am going to be a very unhappy person in my old age or even sooner. [mariemanuel]
Hi Marie, Welcomes to our wonderful site of myLot.com Having the jobs is necessary to have the earning prior to gets our basic necessity of foods, clothes, house, education and medical services to our kids and to the family members. So without earning it is too difficult to run the family in this world, that was the main reasons most of the peoples would always given the preference to the money than the self satisfaction in the jobs. So as a human beings we should try our best to find the jobs with good earning along with nice self satisfaction , prior to enjoy the life as well as to the profession. But it is really too difficult to find the jobs with both money and satisfaction, still you have the option to find that, if you have got both together then you are a more lucky in this world. Have a nice day. [Binthu]


Would be nice to work for satisfaction only, but we need money to pay bills and buy things. I think, person is lucky if he/she can earn money doing things what he/she likes to do. But if not? solution would be to find well-payed job, and find satisfaction outside of it. [Gavi0ta]
Hi Kavita, I am really appreciating your good comments here that you can find the more earning from the jobs ans then find the self satisfaction when you have settled all your bills, with the helps of the money. Really true, we should at least make the habits to get this self satisfaction through the earning after we have settled all the dues , and also it is gives us more satisfaction with free mind. In general most of the peoples would try their best to find the jobs with good earning along with nice satisfaction, but unfortunately it is not at all possible and was decided to get the maximum earning from the jobs, than the satisfaction because of the needs and necessity. So still we should fight and try to find the real jobs with both this self satisfaction and good earning too. Have a nice day. [Binthu]


normally people work to earn money for the family. and while working , people begin to love his/her work until he/she feel satisfaction to what he/she is doing. so it depends on the person on how to deal with it. but as for me , both but satisfaction rank first before money... [nemrac12]
Hi Rac, There are some peoples those who are always given the preference to the self satisfaction than the money especially on their jobs. So it is depends upon the mentality of the peoples , how they are treated their jobs. But in general most of the peoples would looking for better earning or better salary, because of the basic necessity and needs in their family. The money is vital power in the world and much important to have our basic needs of foods, clothes, house, education, and good medical services. So it is also one of the main reasons most of peoples would care about the earning and money and never bother about the self satisfaction. When you have compare the importance in between earning and satisfaction , of course no more doubts the earning has more priority than the self satisfaction, that is the reasons we should not blame the peoples those who are always looking for the better salary on this jobs than the satisfaction. Have a nice day. [Binthu]


That would be good if I could get both, but if had to make a choice between them, I would choose former rather than latter. Money is fundation for living, while satisfaciton is spiritual requirement. On the basis of Maslow's hierarchy of needs we can easily know what we need firstly. [zfdavid006]
Hi David, WELCOMES to our wonderful site of myLot.com Getting the jobs with more earning and self satisfaction really welcomed but unfortunately it is not at all possible to have both at the same time, because most of the well paying jobs never gives us more self satisfaction. But the need of money is very important in our life especially we should need to have the basic necessity of foods, clothes, house, education and medical facility with the helps of money. When you have compared the importance in between the money and satisfaction then I am sure that most of them to choose the money than the self satisfaction because of the necessity and needs of the money in the real and practical life. So at least we should try our best to get good jobs having the good earning as well as to get self satisfaction, if we have got both together then we are the one more luckiest and enjoy the life as well as to our profession. Have a nice day. [Binthu]


Hi Binthu, according to Maslow's hierarchy of needs, the phenomenon you mentioned just indicates the people who pay more attention in salary than satisfaction are in lower needs level, or they are (including me) struggling in making a living. [StevenZhu]
Hi Steven, Most of the peoples would always given the preference to the money or earning than the self satisfaction, because money is more important than the self satisfaction , that was the reasons we are looking for more money to make our life with basic necessity of foods, clothes, house, education and medical services. The money is more power in the world and will do anything with exception of some things, still it is a vital power in entire world. When you have compared the importance in between the money and self satisfaction, of course no more doubts it is the money, because of the needs and necessity. So as a human beings we should try our best to get the jobs with more earning and good satisfaction, prior to enjoy the life as well as to our profession. So we all are hope that we will get both together in the real jobs at soon, to have the beautiful life. Have a excellent day. [Binthu]


I would love to have a job doing something that I really looked forward to but to be honest, for me, the job is about payinf the bills and maintaining the type of lifestyle that I want to live. I can't maintain my lifestyle at this point in my life doing my hobbies or what I enjoy. My job is ok and I make great money but it's not something I wake up to happy to be going to every day. [JenInTN]
Hi Jen, The earning and self satisfaction in the jobs are depends upon the peoples and they are the one to decide to choose the requirement in their life. But in general most of the peoples always would prefer to choose the high earning jobs than the more satisfaction jobs because of the needs and necessity in the real life. As you have been known that money is very important in our life and it is the power to make our life more meaningful like to get our basic necessity of foods, clothes, house, education, and medical services. So that was the reasons we are always given the preference to the money than the self satisfaction in the jobs. As you have informed that you are so happy to work at your jobs and would enjoy the life when you have paying the bills. Yes that's true that we should have the self satisfaction while paying our bills from the earning. Have a nice day. [Binthu]


well you see in this scenario everybody is running after money,people dont care for their job satisfaction they are totally concentrated over money, i personally feel that it doesn't matter that if u earn a little less but u r satisfied by the work u r doing....... so i'll prefer job satisfaction [ankit08]
Hi Ankit, Well worded, everyone would like to go behind the money instead of job satisfaction due to various reasons, especially the money has the entire power in the world would satisfied everyone in the family or in the world. So this was the main reasons most of the peoples does not care about their job satisfaction and always have given the preference to the good salary or high salary prior to enjoy the real life. Some of the well qualified professional would have joined with the company where their skills are totally different, but the peoples would consider better salary instead of the job satisfaction. So the self job satisfaction would be varied from person to person and not a constant to anyone in the real life. So we would be happy with sufficient amount of income to manage the life with the family members. As you have informed that we should at least give the preference to the jobs instead of better salary or money in the real life. Have a wonderful day. [Binthu]


Yes,we all earn money,but don't care to get satisfaction from our work.There is a great difference between having financial stability and satisfaction.Satisfaction gives us mental peace which financial stability may not.the real reward of our work is not money,but the peace and satisfaction we get from it.And the truth is that if we are satisfied with our work,we don't get satisfaction only,we earn money too.I prefer to work for satisfaction,because i know money will accompany satisfaction. [saumitrakumar]
Hi Kumar, Most of the peoples would prefer to choose the money instead of job satisfaction due to various reasons in the practical life. As you have been known that most of the peoples would always behind the money and would never bother about the jobs satisfaction, especially if they are having the responsibility in the family along with the kids. Most of the professional would prefer to have the better salary instead of satisfaction, because the money is great power and would satisfy everyone in the family and in the world. So that is the real reasons they are always think about the money and would like to enjoy the life with extra facility. Some of the well qualified professional would like to work at different profession because of high salary or more money, and does not bother about their jobs satisfaction, so the satisfaction is differ from one person to another. Have a wonderful day. [Binthu]
