I will prefer the one which will be favourable for situation, because interest and money both matters. If i am interested in some field and I got job in that field but the money which I am getting is not sufficient to fulfill my basic needs then I will prefer high salary jobs. If the job I am getting is interested and it have sufficient money to fulfill my needs and on the other hand I am getting job which is very high salaried and not interested and the money which is more than basic needs, then I will prefer the job which interest me and giving money which is sufficient for me and my family.
What will be your choice?

It depends on the situation. If I am looking for a longterm job, I prefer to find a job that I find interesting and challenging. I have to be able to pay my rent and my bills of course, but having a job that I like and enjoy is usually more important to me than a high salary. If I am looking for a shortterm part-time job because I want to save up money for travelling or other things I am less picky. I don't mind having a job that I don't find interesting, because in that case I focus on my goal for instanse a vacation, and an interesting job is less important.

I know that money is important but because we spend a great deal of time at our jobs it it far more important to find one that makes us happy. I would love to have a job that provided a great income and that made me happy but many times that does not happen for people. So I have to say if I had to choose I would prefer a job that makes me happy.

Unfortunately, in this case, I'd have to say you should go with the higher paying job. Basic needs must be met, otherwise you won't be happy at all, even if you had the job you were interested in. I'd say go with the higher paying job and just keep an active eye out for a job in the field you are interested in.
