Original:

In my point of view I think a high salary is more essential because it can help me to fix some life problems. Take myself as an example, I was born in a poor family background so I really need high salary jobs. In the daily time I always spared no effort to raise more money and salary to with work overtime. In addition, high salary can help you to increase your social status. You can meet more elites with the high salary and some like you to enlarge your social circle.

Revised:

In my opinion, a high salary is more essential when looking for a job, as it can help address various life challenges and improve one's social status. Firstly, having a high salary enables individuals to overcome financial difficulties they may have faced in the past. For instance, I was born into a family with limited financial resources, which has driven me to seek well-paying jobs. Consequently, I have consistently put forth my best effort to earn more money and secure higher-paying positions, even if it means working overtime.

Secondly, a high salary can contribute to an enhanced social status, allowing individuals to connect with successful professionals in their field. With a higher income, one can attend exclusive events and join prestigious clubs where they can network with like-minded individuals and expand their social circle. This not only provides personal satisfaction but also opens up opportunities for career growth and development.
