When choosing a career path, there are factors to consider besides compensation. These factors include earning money, achieving status, making a difference, following your passions, and using your talents. The decision-making process should take into account both extrinsic motivations (such as money and status) and intrinsic motivations (such as fulfillment and passion). The hierarchy of career values may evolve over time based on life stages and priorities. It is important to think about your life and career holistically and consider what you want your life to look like in the short-term and long-term.
