Which would you choose: a high-paying job with long hours that would give you little time

with family and friends or a lower-paying job with shorter hours that would give you more
time with family and friends? Explain your choice, using specific reasons and details.

These days it is difficult to choose between a high or low paying job because on one hand,
you need to earn money to take care of your family and yourself, but on the other hand, you
cannot spend your whole life working. That is not what we live for.

First of all, the best option would be to have that kind of job, where you earn enough money
and you dont have to spend that much time in it. It seems like a miracle, but there is actually
a way. I am a musician myself and it is close to it. When you are a principal player you work
only two weeks a month and even if you take another full-time job somewhere, the work
will still consist of attending your job only in the morning usually and then a few concerts
once or twice in a week. I know there are not that many positions like this, but this is a way I
think.

But if I had to choose between a high or low paying job, I would go with a high paying job
with long hours that would give me little time with my family and friends. The reason is
simple. I will always want the best for my family and my future kids, so I want to have them
well educated, preferably at some foreign university outside the Czech Republic and give
them everything possible. Not to spoil them, but to have the possibilities.

In conclusion, my opinion is to spend as much time as possible with my future family, and
even though this would be solved with a low paying job with shorter hours, I would not be
able to give them all the comfort they need, as I could with a high paying job.
