If you could only choose between pursuing a career that has a high salary, or pursuing a career that you always wanted to, which one should you choose and why?
I'm still deciding my major. My parents want me to select a major that would help me acquire a high paying job, however the major I want to go into is not that high paying. #financial-planning #personal-development
