Some people think that job satisfaction is more important than job security while some people think that they cannot always expect job satisfaction, a permanent job is more important.

For modern workers, whether they should give priority to job satisfaction or job security is a controversial topic. In my view, I agree that we should work for pleasure, instead of taking permanent work as a way to gain sefety.

First of all, it is well accepted that only doing jobs you like can bring you real happiness. As the saying goes, Interest is the best teacher. More specifically, if you work for satisfaction, it is easier for you to brave new challenges and inspire your curiosity to dig into this field. To illustrate, considering Bill Gates and Steve Jobs, if they were someone who preferred permanent jobs, they could not have achieved great success in promoting computers and mobile phones.

However, many people argue that it is hard to find jobs related to their interests, especially for females and those who are in middle age. For most women, they may have natural drawbacks, as they need maternity leave and have to pay more attention to their families. What we should do is not discriminate against them, but provide help. On the other hand, others make a convincing argument that as middle-aged employees perform less creativity than younger counterparts, permanent positions suit them better. While such people may not be as energetic as the young, they have abundant experience and the ability to pool in human resources. No one should give up job satisfaction due to shortsighted focus on their weakness.

In a nutshell, while we should respect someone’s preference for job security, the positive job ethic which should be widely promoted is working for job satisfaction. Only in this way, can we ensure everyone enjoys their job and creates greater value.
