Do you prioritise earning a high salary over pursuing your passion in your career?
In this episode, we explore whether focusing on passion or pay is more likely to lead to job satisfaction. We start by defining what passion means in the context of work, reflecting on personal experiences of pursuing passion, but also discussing how the niche market can lead to disappointment.
We discuss the potential drawbacks of focusing solely on earning a high salary, such as job burnout and a lack of purpose. In the final segment, we offer tips and strategies for individuals and businesses to balance their passion and income goals to achieve job satisfaction. We provide advice on identifying and pursuing your passion while also earning a liveable income, and overcoming challenges when pursuing your passion, such as a niche market or financial instability.
Throughout the episode, we pose entertaining questions, such as whether a dream job is worth a significant pay cut, or if a high salary can make you hit pause on following your passion. We encourage listeners to reflect on their own career goals and consider how they can balance their passion and income goals to achieve job satisfaction.
Join us in this thought-provoking conversation and discover whether passion or pay is the key to your career satisfaction.
