Would you stay in a job that's fulfilling but not financially rewarding?

i'd say i would like to have a job that pays just enough for my needs and a little extra. a high-paying job can mean a high-responsibility one, no more time for family because there are too many responsibilities at work. and you are being paid so you have to deliver. fulfillment-wise, i'd be happy to get a job that i enjoy doing, of course the pay must be enough. i think we always make decisions with these two factors in mind. without one of these, we won't truly be happy with our job and we will just resign sooner or later. it's not about more money or more fulfillment but finding the right balance.

Good discussion but I am afraid a yes/ no answer wouldn’t suffice .This calls for a bit of analysis as there may be other factors involved .These factors are one ,do i have dependents and two, are there other job offers . If I have dependents like wife and family and my expenses are being met ,maybe I would stay especially if there aren’t any other lucrative option. When you have dependent you sometimes have to put them over self .You have to sacrifice personal happiness just to know that they are ok. if there are other options which allow me to be take care of my dependent and bills while enjoying personal fulfillment, then I would consider switching provided off course that in changing to a new job I don’t inconvenience my family. In addition I might consider switching if this job brings with it savings such as less travel as this would amount to a greater disposable income in the long run.

Good question. I've just left my secure well paying job, because I wasn't happy and very unfulfilled. Now I'm working from home full time because I want to a)be my own boss, b)prove to myself tat I'm capable of doing this and c)I need the flexibility to balance my home and family life. Life is too short just to pursue money and career working for somebody else's vision. I'm building my own - if I die poor so be it - at least I tried - and I'll know my kids

Confucius said that once you find the job you like you'll never have to work a day in your life. That is true,but money matters,too.I would want both but if it wasn't available,I'd probably go for the money. Unfortunately,right now I have a job that neither pays well nor I'm especially fond of. :P

I will stay untill i get a better job and then jump away because i can't stay without money because money is one of the important thing in life.

for me slight have money but at the same time happinies too yes have succesfull carrer but my happinies are empty beacause always fucos how to make money then also not waste my money for nothing some other people who have allot money succefull job they forgot people need there help.i encounter people who dont care about feeling beacause they have that all things.us my observation people who have allot succesfull career and money has now fulfillment and afraid there life..

It really depends on what you mean by finacially rewarding. Anything that pays $10.00 hr is enough for me. So if I had a job that I really liked or loved, there was anothher one that was very stressful that $12 or thirteen an hour, I would kep the $10.00 job.

Indeed not everyone are lucky to have the best of both worlds. I would go for money. For practical reasons. I can give up a fulfilling job if it's not financially rewarding. People need money for almost anything. Go mucho dinero! P.S. can you point me which direction that road is? (^_^)
