To be or not to be, that is the ANSWER

I have pretty much become a non-fan of those stupid semi-rhetorical questions that people ask you in order to test your character. Such as:
Do you think Christmas is more about receiving or giving?
Would you rather cheat to get an A or know nothing and get an F?
Would you rather have cool clothes and no friends or no clothes and cool friends?
Like SERIOUSLY, what is the point of asking those questions? You're just digging for the response you want to hear and frankly, normal people should just not subject themselves to that kind of manipulative deceit. I am a normal person, and therefore, I do not tolerate those questions. Because they're dumb. And I don't like dumb things.

The reason I'm talking about this is because it came up on an English assignment I got on Friday that I'm working on now.. and it went like so:
Which is more important to you: a job you enjoy doing or a job that makes lots of money? Why? (Like the WHY was even that necessary.)
So here is what I put:
. I’d like to say that I value I job I enjoy doing over a job that makes a lot of money, but I bet that’s what everyone else is putting, so I’m just going to elaborate a little bit. Can you really enjoy a job fully if you don’t think you’re getting paid what you deserve? And honestly, I enjoy money, so wouldn’t that factor in to how much I like my job? Really, I think I could end up liking any job, unless it’s like a Playboy model, but that’s more a question of morals and I’m not really going to get into that. I think it’s more a matter of mental and physical stress. Does my job always occupy my mind, even when it’s 3 a.m. and I’m trying to fall asleep and dream about Zac Efron or on the weekends when I’m out with my family? If so, then that is definitely not a job I would want, no matter how much it pays. This is why I don’t think I could ever be a doctor, but I do think I could work in a job environment that pays just as much but where I sit at a desk as a secretary working for some really annoying people. It might not be my dream, but it would be the perfect level of work and be compatible with my life. So in conclusion to this novel, my personal opinion is that if I’m smart enough, I can have both. And if not, that’s why I’m marrying a rich guy.

NOW YOU KNOW.

no such thing - john mayer

"Welcome to the real world", she said to me condescendingly. "Take a seat; take your life. Plot it out in black and white." Well, I never lived the dreams of the prom kings and the drama queens. I'd like to think the best of me is still hiding up my sleeve. They love to tell you, "Stay inside the lines." But something's better on the other side. I wanna run through the halls of my high school. I wanna scream at the top of my lungs. I just found out there's no such thing as the real world, just a lie you've got to rise above. So the good boys and girls take the so called right track, faded white hats grabbing credits and maybe transfers. They read all the books but they can't find the answers. And all of our parents, they're getting older; I wonder if they've wished for anything better, while in their memories tiny tragedies love to tell you, "Stay inside the lines." But something's better on the other side. I wanna run through the halls of my high school. I wanna scream at the top of my lungs. I just found out there's no such thing as the real world, just a lie you've got to rise above. I am invincible. I am invincible. I am invincible as long as I'm alive. I wanna run through the halls of my high school. I wanna scream at the top of my lungs. I just found out there's no such thing as the real world, just a lie you've got to rise above. I just can't wait til my 10-year reunion. I'm gonna bust down the double doors, and when I stand on these tables before you, you will know what all this time was for.
