Social Science (087) — AI-generated practice question

Two reasons why a person might prefer a lower-paying job with security:

1. Sense of security: A job with regular employment enhances a person's sense of security. Knowing that income will continue helps in planning family needs and reduces anxiety.

1. Time for family/freedom: A high-paying job with no security may leave no time for family and reduce one's sense of freedom. A secure job allows better work-life balance and personal well-being.

The textbook explicitly states: "A job may give you less pay but may offer regular employment that enhances your sense of security. Another job may offer high pay but no job security and also leave no time for your family. This will reduce your sense of security and freedom." Examiners expect you to quote or closely paraphrase these two points — security and freedom/family time — as non-material goals that people value beyond income. Avoid vague answers; name the specific goals clearly.
