If you could have your dream job but it just paid average or you could work at a bland boring job with little to no interest to you but you make good money which would you choose? I would honestly as a person without a family to commit to would take my dream job. But I could understand taking the latter for your family. I know at times my parents did that so we could get by.

Hi Bstuff, Working is important for our life. No work no money!! Before we go look for a job, we have to ask ourself what we want to do in the first place,what kind of job we are looking at. Then we are able to get the right job. Sometimes, we like this job,but we are not giving a chance to perform it.Never mind! We try to look for the better one. Boring job with a good pay sounds interesting. If I am in the situation of need some money, I will just take this job offered. Do it for the time being till my financial situation if back to normal.then maybe I will consider to quit this job.

I would take the dream job option, I would go spare if I had to do a job I hated. the way I see it, you are going to spend 1 third of your life at it so why waste precious seconds being unhappy???

I'd rather work where I can gain a good amount of money. There could also be a possibility that I'll enjoy my work environment.

i would be happy to have my dream job even though it pays average. I would like to work inspired and happy. If i stick with a boring job even though it pays good money, i dont think i would be able to survive it because i couldnt work at all with passion. Working with passion will get you the pay that you deserve sooner or later.

Making great income is essential for every household I think. I have worked on companies that pays really good, although its a good source of income for me at that time I find the environment as well as the task are not pleasing at all. I went to a point wherein I asked myself if I'm happy of where I am. Then later on I changed my career path and find the one that is right for me. A place where I could bring out the best of my abilities, a company that makes me proud to be a part of. I learned that it is worth to choose the ones you wanted in life. For you know happiness and self satisfaction cannot be paid by any amount of money. :) Happy Lotting.
