Prompt #10
Although job satisfaction is an important factor when considering career success, I feel that is isn't the most important aspect. Of course, if one has love for what they do then the working atmosphere may seem light but what about how one provides for their family? Yes, I can go work for a radio studio and absolutely love my job but at the end of the day if I cannot provide food for my table then how does that measure up to career success? Job satisfaction is a large part of career success when one has just themselves to be responsible over. I can agree that it is very important, but not nearly as important as having a steady income, especially with the current state of affairs dealing with our economic volatility. I don't believe that one facet of having a career can ultimately be the most important measure of success when one has many contributing factors of how they came about having a career in a specific field. Would someone who was pressured to become a doctor by their family, even though they may become a great doctor, love their chosen career when the choice was out of their hands? Now as time progresses they may come to terms with their chosen career and eventually have a fair amount of job satisfaction, but still the choice was not their's to make.

Grounds
ReplyDelete1. If pressured to become a certain profession, job satisfaction may not be present which may or may not lack career success.
2. Being successful in a career does not mean that an individual will be satisfied with the day to day tasks.
3. No matter how one may perform on their job, the success may not be present at the end of the day.
Backing
1. Some people go to school to become something that they do not want to truly be inside, therefore they may never develop that job satisfaction.
2. Some people may be completely satisfied with their job but may not be able to provide much or show for it so, the success is missing.
Rebuttals
1. Some people feel that job satisfaction is the most important measure because they may not have been unsatisfied to know what it feels like.
2. if you look at it another way, some may feel that if you are satisfied or unsatisfied , the overall idea of being content does play a role in career success.
3. If one is making the desired money but may not be completely happy.
Backing
1.In some way they are satisfied, because of the fact that they are making the money.
2. The idea of job satisfaction bends to cover the idea of unsatisfied too because it still measures and limits success.
