Speaking exercise

I think the interest in the job is more important. If I choose the job with good salary and I don’t like it, I will feel down and I don’t have faith to do it well in truth. But, in other ways, if we get the job with good salary, maybe we can feel motivation to do the job because we have enough money. We have quite self-confidence and self-worth. In the world, maybe in my point-of-view, the interest is more important but if we have a job with good salary, we can develop our passions for the job.

Revised: 

I think having an interest for the job is more important. If I choose the job with a good salary and I don’t like it, I will feel down/unsatisfied and I don’t have the faith to do well/perform well. But, on the other hand, if we get a job with a good salary/which pays well, maybe we will feel motivated to do the job because we are satified with the pay/salary. We would become quite self-confident and have self-worth. In my point-of-view, being interested is more important, but if we have a job with a good salary, we can develop our passion for the job.
