A high-paying job vs family? Some people are so dedicated to their jobs, that they are willing to spend as many hours as possible in their office, while neglecting their families and friends Others stay at work long hours only for the sake of the money they get For my part, no matter how much I would enjoy what I am doing at work, no matter how well I would be paid, I find my family and friends to be more important I would rather have a low salary than no time to spend with the ones that I love I strongly believe that is more important having someone to share with the wonders and sorrows of life than having lots of money If people not find enough time to spend with their families, they might wake up one morning and realize that their children are adults and their parents are long gone In such a situation is most likely they would wonder what was the point of their life so far They would regret not watching their children grow They might even find that their friends are scarce, and they not call any more, tired of hearing "I am are too busy" Moreover, what would be the justification of having a high-paying job, if no time to enjoy the money you earn The idea of spending them on expensive cloths and gadgets does not seem appealing to me I would rather travel, go see the world along with my family But than again, will have time for that? As far as I am concerned, the emotional side of life is more rewarding than the material one I would make my life in such a way that I would be able to raise my children, be there for them, see them grow I would not spend long unnecessary hours only for the sake of gaining more In my opinion, family and friends are what really matter in life, and they should not be neglected
