Ann Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Which would you rather have??? A job you love that pays less OR A job you hate that pays more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilyjohn Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 I think that is an easy one. I was a caregiver and believe me that is at the bottom of the pay scale. Still I loved what I did and felt I could make a difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ann Posted March 27, 2008 Author Share Posted March 27, 2008 Right now, with $$$ such an issue for me, I would have to choose the second one and go for the money. Believe me, most of my life I have tried to have a job I love but now, although I'm not picky, I am thinking more about the $$$. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dchurchi Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 As I have done both I can honestly say I would take less and work at a job I love. I worked 7 years at a job I hated . Not worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kasey Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 It would depend, of course, on if I could get along with the less $$$$. If it would be a major struggle, I would have to for the $$$$. Kasey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ry Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 I think it's important to love what you do-- so I would adjust to the money issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patti B Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 I absolutely LOVE the job I have right now - and it really doesn't pay $$ at all - being my son's Mom!! Patti B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 First question: Why can't I have both? You're right, this isn't dream world John. 3 years ago, I would have said show me the money, or money talks or some other stupid cliche. Today, Give me enough to pay the bills, give me something that I truly enjoy and feel fulfilled with, somehow, making sure the Gov't gets it taxes isn't cutting it for me, and some freedom to spend more time at home with Jack and Col, and you got yourself an employye for life.
