    Default Which do you think is better in a job?

    A Job that pays much more money, but is more difficult to find, like certain jobs in the electronics field.

    Or a Job that pays very well, and is more stable, but not as much money as the other Job, with a pharmacist being this example.

    i think a job you enjoy doing in more important than how much you make

    i'd have to agree - i was offered a comission based job £300 a week average earnings on a 6 month management course, but i took the 13k a year job cause i was more interested in it and the hours were better.

    Work is supposed to suck. That's why it's called "work." Take the job that pays better and has more opportunity for advancement. You can have fun on your days off with the excess money.

    I dunno man - my husband went nuts doing that last year. he went for the 'well paid potential executive' wank, then stopped sleeping and started throwing up on the way to his job. he's 6'3" and went down to 10st (120lb?) and he now works at a record/video store and spends his spare time not worrying.

    I don't begrudge anyone well paid jobs - if you want it, then good luck to you. the problem is that society seems to have become so obsessed with money and impressive job titles that people get into jobs that they loathe and it takes its toll on the rest of their lives. very few people enjoy their work, but you have to decide where to draw the line.

    That right there is why I've never held a "conventional" job. The one I have pays fairly and I love every agonising second of it.

    What if the job is a job you love, but it is a difficult type of job to find, such as a game tester, etc?

    then work for it like a mad mad thing until you get there buddy. it's probably better to get a job you've worked your ass off for because it's more of a vocation than a career.
