For the young adults who still have a very high spirit, they usually work overtime to gain some more salary. This added up to their main salary so the more they work overtime, their main salary can go up up and higher.

But of course, it also has a negative impact, especially to your health. You will work more than the recommended hours and that’s not healthy at all. Sometimes there will be much stress and not enough time to rest or sleep during the night can decrease your performance in general.
