Would you rather have a job that paid well, but you did not enjoy, or a job that paid peanuts and you liked?

Question

If offered a position with a company doing something you do not enjoy, but it paid well, and offered a job with a company that paid poorly, but you enjoyed more, which would you take?

Answer 1

The one that paid good money. I can always save and apply for a fun job later. Or use the money to start my own business.

Answer 2

Well for me this is easy.  The jo that made me happy but paid peanuts couldn't make me happly. Money makes me happy.  So the job that pays well but I don't enjoy, in turn, will make me happy since i love money.  I dont make any sense lol.  Id go with higher paying job.

Answer 3

Only you can answer this question.  A lot of people are in dire straits financially and don't have a choice:  they have to take the better paying job.  If you have a choice then decide what is important to you.

On the other hand, you can take the job that pays well and work your butt off for a few years, save like crazy and only take jobs that satisfy your soul later.
