Does making a lot of money -- however you define that -- factor into how you define career success?

Well,
to
an
extent
-
while
there
are
intangibles
such
as
satisfaction
in
what
you
do,
the
amount
of
money
you
make
is
directly
linked
to
the
value
and
duration
of
your
labour-time,
so
if
you're
making
a
lot
of
money
in
little
time,
your
labour
is
clearly
of
value
-
if
your
labour
is
of
value
to
someone
else,
and
you're
justly
rewarded,
that
could
count
as
success.
Essentially,
however,
it's
just
a
question
of
semantics.

I
don't
think
that
it
defines
success,
but
I
would
say
that
it
helps
measure
how
far
along
in
my
career
I
have
come.
So,
career
wise,
it
would
be
a
factor.
For
personal
success,
it
supports
what
I
want
for
a
successful
life.
I
want
to
travel.
I
want
to
have
a
nice
home
for
my
children.
I
don't
want
to
worry
about
living
paycheck
to
paycheck.
I'm
with
Meri
on
this,
I
don't
want
it
to
play
such
a
big
role,
but
if
success
in
a
career
is
climbing
the
ladder
-
which
is
the
want
and
will
make
you
happy,
money
is
a
big
measurement.

For
me,
money
doesn't
define
success.
I
believe
I'm
successful,
but
as
a
journalist,
I
don't
make
much
money.
Success
is
really
more
about
achieving
goals
and
being
the
kind
of
person
and
mom
I
want
to
be.
I
feel
like
most
of
the
time
I've
accomplished
that.

No,
it
does
not
define
or
make
you
successful.
What
makes
a
person
successful
is
knowing
you
did
the
job
to
the
best
of
your
ability,
and
more
importantly......helping
someone.
It
seems
today
that
we
live
in
a
world
of
self
gratification....what
ever
happened
to
the
simple
act
of
kindness.
Knowing
at
the
end
of
the
day
you
did
something
GOOD
and
RIGHT,
makes
you
feel
good
inside.
Whether
or
not
it
was
for
financial
gain
should
not
matter.
It
all
comes
down
to
ethics,
personal
and
business.
Grandy 5th Jun
I
think
being
good
at
what
you
do
defines
your
success.
It's
just
that
the
better
you
are
at
it,
the
more
you
get
paid
(with
any
luck).
klg 5th Jun
It
does
equal
success
on
some
levels
for
me,
but
not
because
of
the
actual
cash
in
the
bank,
but
what
I
can
do
with
the
money.
College
savings
plans,
retirement
plans,
vacations
come
easier
to
those
who
are
successful
because
the
money
is
there
to
make
them
easy.
Money is not the main reason I work. It is nice and no one should work for free, but success for me is causing change and helping my company get from point A to point B. Seeing my actions make a difference is how I measure success.
Meri 5th Jun
I
think
it
plays
a
big
role
for
me
even
though
I
don't
want
it
to.
It
just
seems
like
the
number
one
measure
of
business
success.
I
like
the
idea
of
switching
to
happiness
being
the
biggest
measure.
:)
momof2lovelies 4th Jun
People
always
say
Money
should
not
define
success
but
I
think
it
plays
a
part
in
my
head.
Success should be happiness because you are lucky if you have that in your career. It's very rare. |
