Should I take a secure job or wait for a more satisfying job? (This is a TOEFL writing practice. Please help me improve it. Thanks!!!) In my opinion, people should take a secure job right away rather than wait for a more satisfying job. Here are some reasons why: First of all, most of people have some kind of financial stress. For example, they have to pay the rent or mortage every month. Not to mention other living expenses like food and transportation. Taking a secure job would relive the financial stress right away. Furthermore, taking a secure job does not mean that you have to stick to it in your whole life. If you have a better opportunity later, you still can quit the current job and go for it. Actually, your current working experience can probably help you get a job that is more satisfying and highly paid. Taking myself as an example, I took a not so satisfying job two years ago, but this job made me build solid knowledge. So after short two years, I get a not only more satisfying but also higher position. Last but not least, you would never know if a job is really satisfying as it seems to be. I do not think it is wise to turn down a secure job to wait for a “might be” more satisfying job because you could turn out to have no job at all. That’s why I disagree with the statement that if people have the opportunity to get a secure job, they should take it right away rather than wait for a job that would be more satisfying.
