Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate

Salary is often one of the most important considerations when applying for and choosing a job.
However, some people also want a job that they love and have always dreamt of. Before choosing
a career for money versus passion, you should consider carefully to decide which option may be
the best one for you.
When you choose a career for money, you are basing your choice on how much your employer
will pay you. This could include hourly pay or yearly salary plus extra compensation like bonuses
and company stocks. People who choose a career or job because of the amount of their paycheck
may value the money for various reasons that could include taking care of their families,
purchasing a house, or saving for retirement.
Choosing a career for passion means you are considering how happy you will be to do your
job. Passions are unique to each person, and when people choose their jobs based on their
passions, they typically care more about how the activities of the job may make them feel or
affect their health and free time than the compensation.
Ultimately, whether you choose a job that pays well or one that arouses your passions can
depend on what's most important to you. Before you choose between a job for money or passion,
it's important to determine your priorities in life. Since people find happiness in different ways,
it's a good idea to recognize whether the benefits of a high-paying job will make you happier than
the benefits of a job you love. Knowing what you want from life can make your decision easier.
Last but not least, you are not only choosing a job for yourself. Your choice of career can
influence people around you, especially the ones that are closest to you. Therefore, it is essential
to ask your parents and other family members for their opinions. It can be a good idea to have a
conversation with your family about the income, long-term goals, and pros and cons of the job
you are about to choose.
