Should You Stay Or Should You Go?

My friend graduated from a reputable school with honors, so when she quit her first job after only three months of employment, everybody was surprised.
Her first job was for a company that distributes medical equipment and supplies from abroad to hospitals here in our home town. She was given a flashy title as "MARKETING EXECUTIVE". It makes her sounds so "big-time boss" she says. And the truth is she's been paying down very very very low since the company was experiencing what they called it "global economic crisis".
If you were on her case, should you stay for a company and been paying you for a very low income? Or would you file a resignation letter immediately and look for a better one. What do you think?
Any remarks on this is highly appreciated to share with us.

i don't think it is a good idea now to quit/shift job though considering the global economic downturn. having a stable job now is more important than getting a higher paying job yet one day your boss will just call you at his cubicle and tell you that tomorrow you can pack up your things... it happened to a lot of employees down here. they are mostly from IT sector. it's real hard coz they've been used to getting a lot: staying in lavish condo, having a luxurious lifestyle and all and then one day, they were just approached and being told they have the rest of the day to clean up their table :( SO your friend can just take her time being that "Marketing Executive" anyway she has just graduated. take it as a learning ground :) lets just all hope that the economy turns 160 degrees very soon. :)

The salary of the first job is not so important. But the experience you can gain from it is. And to move from one job to another continually will cause HR to doubt your loyalty on job.

The ideal thing to do would be to already have another high paying job lined up before she quits that one. With so little experience it may be difficult for her to find a high paying job if she is not already employed. human resources workers tend not to trust people with spotty employment records.
