RE: Reflection Time Friday: Job that pays good money? Or passion that is not making a penny?
I go for the "passionate" about job anytime..not exactly the not-making-a-penny one, but it just give u enough to live on and a bit of an extra to do what other things u want.
A higher position is not the icing on the cake, but rather it's the "a lot of time" to do other things.
Till ur body breaks down and another door is beckoning with uncertainty on what's in the other side.
I like your point of view @immarojas. You are right with earning enough and trying what you are passionate about. I find that to be easier than quitting all at once and trying to make money on your passion like arts and writing. Unless you have savings, sometimes it adds to the stress of not making much at first.
Thank you for always dropping insightful comments :)
Stressful of course and very limiting. I need to try doing what you and @pinaynomad are doing. Sounds fun though but you know, responsibilities, priorities etc.
Yeah, it is so hard when you have responsibilities, and everyone in the PH is expecting of padala and balik bayan boxes. Save enough for 2 years, and then try it! If you will be living in Southeast Asia, that won't be a lot of money.
Haven't interacted with @pinaynomad yet. Thanks for tagging her, I should need to connect :)
