Examples and details: This gives raise to many problems like starvation, unemployment, and even wars for resources like water and petroleum.

A job with a high salary but little vacation time is better than a job with a low salary but much vacation time. Structure Most young people and middle-aged people care much more about how much they earn than about the leisure time. For aged people, the main purpose to have jobs is no longer to make money, and they may need more vacation time instead of higher salaries. Paragraph Developing Topic sentence: Young people are willing to sacrifice some or even all of their leisure time for more money because that they all wish to live a vivid life. Sub point 1: desire for money Sub point 2: sacrifice vacation time Sub point 1: For most young people, money is needed everywhere. Boys are fascinated with the latest digital products and even automobiles, and girls are addicted to fashionable clothes and makeups. Plus, they hang out with friends and have dinners with people at work frequently. That requires much expense as well. Without money, young people are unlikely to feel happy and satisfied. Sub point 2: As for vacation time, young people really do not care about it very much, for they have many other choices to get relaxed or to have fun. They can get over and feel energetic again by having a good sleep at night, and they can watch movies or go shopping or play video games with friends after work. Conclusion: That is why what they expect the most from their jobs is the income but not vacations.
