Money or Work ?

@mkrnex,it's not easy to choose one of the two.We all need money and the cost of living has been continuously going up and up.Often we have to settle with a job we are not comfortable with,but which yields more.There may as well be a job in which you can't expect a good salary,but you love to do it.I,if I were in your place,would like to opt for the latter,although it would be too tough a choice.

I would pick that job that I am passionate about if it is possible. I would have to look at my financial situation first and if I can pay my rent and my bills with with my salary from the job that am I passionate about I would pick that one. I have been passionate about most of my jobs, and I have never had a high paying job. I have worked in home health care, nursing homes, homes for people with special needs and kindergartens. You don't earn a lot of money in those jobs, but I loved most of my jobs.

both :) or yet follow your passion because when you are happy with what you are doing, the result is good or excellent.

I think that we can only be happy when we have a job that we like.

A good balance of both would be ideal

see that is a hard one, and depends on so many things, how badly you and your family needs the money for one thing. Do you just have no interest or totally hate the job. If I had the financial freedom to not have to make a certain amount, or we could surive on the job I loved, I'd do that. But we don't so I am at the one that makes more right now, that I'm not as happy about.

It is a tough choice but if you can manage at all with the lesser money, pick the passion job! I did but I was able to do it and have pure joy!

I would honestly choose the job that didn't pay very high that I loved IF it was enough to sustain all my expenses.

One that keeps you happy!

I also have that dilemma. I want to do job as a translator but the salary is average low so I am now doing a job as a csr for trymyapps since I am badly needing money.

good thing isif you go average but doesn't make the account grow any but its there but you enjoy it but i think i would have to like what i'm doing.

it depends on your current situation. If you urgently need to raise money for something then stick with the job that pays you good. Ideally it is always great to have a job you are passionate about even if it pays moderately as long as it can support the lifestyle you want. Or you can try putting a balance on it. Keep that high paying job then if you have extra time, work on something you are passionate with :) I guess I am lucky to have a job that pays good enough and provides me comfortable home and free food and free health insurance and yet have plenty of time to have fun and earn extra online.

I have worked in jobs I hated all my life and then came to Israel and still at the beginning didn't find what I wanted to do. I did find something that I like, but, not enough so I do not make a lot of money doing it, but,I say everything helps. NOw, I found My lot and love it. I may not be rich, but, I really like what I am doing now.

I will choose a work which will make me happy and interests me..

Only if you get a job you like, or better where you are earning.

I think picking the right balance is really hard. And you have to work on small things in order to make some decent adjustment. The small adjustment over time can make a lot of changes in lifestyle. I think you should focus on money at first and once the money settles in you can balance it with quality work that brings you happiness.

I consider myself that rare kind of person that would choose what is passionate about even If I don't get anything, not that there's a lot of these things at all... but, I just can't do things If I don't like then... well, I can do, but if it's something as important as a job(That Is something that needs to be done with quality and quick), I won't do that good. I know that I won't do it as good as a person passionate by it that should be there.
