【范文】
Decision regarding the jobs is of undeniable importance because the type and intensity of the work not only determine with which domain people will keep close contact in the future several years to say the least, also leave stamps on people’s lifestyle. With laborious work, should it be also repetitive, people tend to be dull after work, yet they might maintain energetic with an exhausting but interesting project. From my perspective, between jobs with many interesting and challenging projects and that offering more vacation days, I incline to the former because it benefits my future development and also my mood.
Firstly, interesting and challenging projects are valuable for people’s development. Fresh from the schools, the freshmen of the job might have plenty of information from the textbooks but little about how to handle the real problems. In addition, these fresh school graduates, with their heads pulled out of the books and papers days ago, might not adapt to the communications with various kinds of people. How to talk with their colleagues, their leaders, their partners in collaboration, even they might not be familiar with how to knock off the price at the market since they are let off all the chores to stay focus on the schoolwork. Therefore, were these inexperienced people subject challenging projects frequently, not only their professional skills related to the work, also their social skills including speaking with others could be trained and improved. As a result, better wage and condition are beckoning thanks to the groomed profession levels, and being sophisticated wins people better relationship amid the neighborhoods. Conversely, were the job beginners fulfilled with painless work, hardly could they make notable progress even after years, and that could be lamentable since their personal development will fall into stagnation right after the graduation.
Besides, working in interesting projects infuses activity to people’s mind. Usually mentally it is the repetitive work drains people the most quickly but labors with interesting projects tend to be optimistic. For example, the attendants and the cooks might share the similar working time, and dishing up meals for the customers might not be as difficult as the preparation of tempting dishes from raw materials. However, never will people who are interested in cooking give up their post as cook but turn to do the job of attendants, because the cooks could be creative rather than monotonous and they find preparing dishes interesting even with treating the same cuisine several times each day since each time the time of cooking as well as the amount and type of the seasonings could be finely adjusted.
To draw a conclusion, I prefer the job with interesting and challenging projects rather than more vacations since it is beneficial to the various skills and also it heads off the dullness of repeating. (468words)
