31. “Financial gain should be the most important factor in choosing a career.”
    “經(jīng)濟收入應(yīng)該是找工作時重要的因素?!?BR>    1. 把收入作為選擇職業(yè)的首要考慮因素會使人忽視了生命中更應(yīng)該追求的其他東西。事實上有許多人為了追求更為重要的目標而放棄了使自己獲得大收入的職業(yè)。象是特蕾莎修女,她以助人為快樂。盡管在物質(zhì)上是清貧的但是卻在別人快樂的同時自己也得到了幸福的回報。mother Teresa, winner of the Nobel Peace Prize,dedicated the majority of her life to helping the poorest of the poor in India. Although she was not rich all through her life, she was happier than most of her contemporaries because she gained happiness when she helped the poor.bliss blessedness 還有一些人為了做全職家長更好的照顧孩子更是完全犧牲了得到錢的職業(yè)。在他們看來和家人在一起生活照顧他們的起居飲食是自己開心的事情。
    2. 誠然經(jīng)濟基礎(chǔ)是一切其他活動的前提,但追求錢以外更重要的目標并不一定意味著就會得不到物質(zhì)回報或者是一定會過得潦倒。事實上兩者是可以相互促進的。一個追求智力上或者是創(chuàng)造力上的成就的人象是作家藝術(shù)家或者是音樂家當他們的作品問世時候他們同時也得到了物質(zhì)的回報。othes choose to pursue intellectual or creative fulfillment-as wirters, artists, or musicians. 而這些錢反過來又會為他們的創(chuàng)作提供更好的條件和環(huán)境.

    1. Admittedly, 人們都不是生活在童話里fairy tale,人們需要面對日常生活中的各種花費,而金錢是保障這一切,從而保障人們生命的基礎(chǔ)。financial gain does be an important factor in choosing a career.
    2. 但是,這不代表說,所有人都應(yīng)該把它regard it as the most important…因為after all, 金錢只是滿足我們生活的手段,還有更多更家重要的東西,金錢無法滿足。比如精神生活:首先,很多人選擇很多工作,造福社會,但它們pay less than others,比如social work, nursing. 人們認為精神世界更重要,幫助別人。。。;另外,良好的工作環(huán)境,同事關(guān)系,使人們精神好。
    3. 因為首先:不同人有不同的需要,又比如說,有的媽媽為了照顧孩子,選擇地點離家比較近的工作,even though this job can provide her less money than those far from her home.。。再比如說,有的人為了事業(yè)上更大的成就,會選擇能提供更多機會promotion,或者培訓(xùn)之類的。如果全部考慮金錢,則很可能喪失更多進步的機會。
    View1: Financial gain is an important factor in choosing a career.
    View2: However, there are more factors play important roles in making job decisions. chance for promotion, training, work environment, corporate culture and reputation, welfare other than financial form
    Evidence: Vincent Van Gogh .If he transfer to other career for monetary consideration, there will be no such beautiful scenes as starry night and sunflowers shining forever in our art history.
    View3: In my opinion, the best career is the combination of special interests and financial benefits.
    Financial gain is certainly one factor to consider when selecting a career. But many people do not, and should not, focus on this factor as the main one. The role that money plays in career choice should depend on the priorities, goals and values of the particular person making the choice.
    The main problem with selecting a career primarily on the basis of money is that for many people to do so would be to ignore one’s personal values, needs, and larger life goals. Indeed, many people appreciate this notion when they choose their career. For example, some people join one of the helping professions, such as nursing, teaching or social work, well aware that their career will not be financially lucrative. Their choice properly stems from an overriding altruistic desire, not from an interest in financial gain. Others choose to pursue intellectual or creative fulfillment—as writers, artists, or musicians—knowing that they are trading off dollars for non-tangible rewards. Still others forego economic gain to work as full-time parents; for these people, family and children are of paramount importance in life. Finally, many people subordinate economic prospects to their desire to live in a particular location; these people may place a high value on recreation, their physical health, or being near a circle of friends.
    Another problem with focusing primarily on money when selecting a career is that it ignores the notion that making money is not an end in the end of itself, but rather a means of obtaining material goods and services and of attaining important goals—such as providing security for oneself and one’s family, lifelong learning, or freedom to travel or to pursue hobbies. Acknowledging the distinction, one may nevertheless select a career on the basis of money—since more money can buy more goods and services as well as the security, freedom, and time to enjoy them. Even so, one must strike a balance, for if these things that money is supposed to provide are sacrificed in the pursuit of money itself, the point of having money—and of one’s career selection—has been lost.
    In conclusion, economic gain should not be the overriding factor in selecting a career. While for a few people the single-minded pursuit of wealth may be fulfillment enough, most people should, and indeed do, temper the pursuit of wealth against other values, goals, and priorities. Moreover, they recognize that money is merely a means to more important objectives, and that the pursuit itself may undermine the achievement of these objectives.
