Letitia just got her law degree. She wants to take a job in environmental law, but a corporate firm specializing in real estate contracts has offered her a job with an enormous salary. Why should she think carefully and critically in making a decision?

What will be an ideal response?


She should think critically because taking a job exclusively for its extrinsic benefits might lower her intrinsic satisfaction in the work. Also, people who are motivated solely to acquire money often have poorer psychological adjustment and lower well-being and happiness than people who are motivated by work they enjoy.
