Of course Money 1st

To me, money comes first because my interest is lazing around and having no stress. In order for that to happen, I need loads of $$$

This topic is very subjective...

Scenario 1: Good Money, No Interest, No Life
No life means work until midnight everyday including sat and sun. Tough life dude

Scenario 2: Good Money, No Interest, Got Life
This is the best !!!
Every year, you can spend the money to your travel or upgrade car or do more stuff. Or get latest computer gadgets !!!

Scenario 3: No Money, Got Interest, No Life
You work with passion. But end of the month having problem to pay bills, and financial issue. Tough life dude

Scenario 4: No Money, Got Interest, Got Life
This is interesting. You work with fun and passion. Money comes later. Sounds like your parent can support you financially.

Scenario 5: Good Money, Got Interest, No Life
This is best !!! Work with passion in the job !!!

Scenario 6: Good Money, Got Interest, Got Life
This is the ultimate Best !!! Dream Job dude !!!

haha...mamat poyo dah bercerita yer yer..taula ko keje astro..dapat free astro takyah baya

Actually this is a very thin line...For me, as man (a potential breadwinner for family), we got to take care of our rice bowl and salary so that we can afford to actually provide sustainance for the family. Which means, we work for the one who pays us most and provides us with enough security.

Take for instance Mr Hazremi (stated above, who happened to be my ex-rummie) he was a multimedia freak and he even got a chance to actually work in an international based multimedia based firm. But still, he quit and joined Astro, because, he felt he was paid more, which could afford him a nice lil comfort when he sleeps at night.

And the calculation is really simple, he is paid more, hence he learns about his new job, and once he get accustomed, he is comfortable and settles down in his new job. Which of course what we'll naturally face (although not all)

Money is the ultimate dangling carrot. And from there comes a motivation because u know, at some point, you'll get rewarded monetarily even more even if it means learning something new. Whether we like it or not is another matter, but juz make sure your boss likes u and what u are doing. I may sound cynical but unfortunately my friend, it is a sad truth in todays working profession.

money make ur life interesting..


interest wif low salary..u lost interest

wat bout RM500 per month work of ur interest?

What about it ? I'm sure a lot of people would do it, if they're interested. If not full-time, maybe part-time.

agreed. THis is the real situations and probability....it's not as simple as choosing money and interest only...There are consequences...

There is another and equal side to this equation.

Can you afford to look for a better job??

Some times, people are stuck at certain job because they live from paycheck to paycheck. They have absolutely no savings. So, they cannot afford to lose or quit their current job even though they hated the job.

On the other hand, a person that has substantial savings and live a frugal life can choose to work at a less stressful and low paying job if he/she wants to.

You choose your lifestyle and your life.

Haha! Interesting! Money is important in reality. Without money, there can be no interest... Take me as a example. I love astronomy. Well, to hook on to this, I'll need a telescope, which in average will cause few thousands.

Agree, to me, in any job you do will always find people who are very interested in the job. It's very hard to compete with those people when you dont have interest. Sure, we can work hard but interest make a big difference in performance. If we cant compete, hard to get pay raise/promotion.

If I do things that I'm talented at, does that counts as interest ? Is there such thing as talented but not interested ?

Big money and promotions are for excellent people, can you be a winner without interest ?

I say you find a programming job that pays well. SAP programming, mainframe programming for example.

I think you accidentally found a hidden interest in yourself.

full time?i think most or no one will take it

money will create interest..but interest hardly create money

Luqmanz,

Do not be so afraid to answer your own question. If you are willing to do something for free, you are interested in it. Or else, you are not. It has NOTHING to do with whether you are talented or not.

For example, are you willing to do X at spare time eventhough you are doing it for free??

Einstein like to play violin. He had absolutely NO talent and play horribly. But, he kept on playing and he loved it. He was interestedin violin.
