I think a job that you love and you're passionate about is just as important as how much you earn in that job.
Having a job is merely a step in fulfilling that passion, and enabling yourself to be on the route to financial independence. Having said that, you're more able to achieve that in other countries than in Singapore.
In Singapore, money counts more than passion for a few groups of people, and that thought, which has been transferred down to the younger generations have not made the younger people any more passionate of their jobs. They think of it as a job, a career, and not as a passion, or as a cause.
