There’s no one answer to this question. Everyone’s different, with different needs, and their choice of occupation should vary accordingly, experts say.
It's long been simmering inside you: A hankering to fulfill your career dream. It might be starting your own restaurant, tending sheep in the great outdoors, or becoming a social media influencer. But what if doing what you love for a living barely makes ends meet? Should you choose your passion or an ample pay cheque?
Being successful in your career doesn’t necessarily mean being fulfilled in your life, points out Judith Mangelsdorf, director of the German Society for Positive Psychology . She advises people trying to decide whether to follow the money or their passion to “ask yourself what’s more important to you: A higher income and all that it makes possible, or a really inspiring job”.
Whereas one’s occupation used to serve solely as a way to make a living, nowadays it’s often supposed to provide fulfilment as well, she says. Mangelsdorf agrees that you don’t have to land your dream job to be happy: “Many people find fulfilment in other areas of life, such as a romantic relationship, family, volunteer work or hobbies.”
“Then your broken dream is no longer the end of the world, but just another obstacle you’ve got to deal with.”
