would you turn down a great job due to the low pay?

It depends on the raise schedule.  If you can get raises then yes I would go for it.  It all depends on if you want to negotiate on the pay.

Whether you take this job doesn't only depend on the circumstances of the position itself, but also YOUR circumstances.  \n\nIf you haven't been employed for awhile, short on money, bill collectors hounding you, then it might be wise to take the position, even with the downfalls, as a means for you to subsist until you find something better (which shouldn't be hard).  \n\nI would take the job if I NEEDED a job.  I would not take the job if I had other job opportunities pending that were better, or if it was a job that might in some way hinder my getting a better job.  If I am unemployed, I don't necessarily consider that the first position I find (or take) will be my life's work, but rather will help me to continue my search.

If the other job still provides enough money to pay for your home and necessities, then yeah, I'd do it. If taking the job will keep you from being able to buy a home or will keep you on a diet of Ramen noodles for years to come, I'd have to think long and hard before I took it. \n\nGood luck with your decision!

I think counter offer is a bad deal for you.  One, you look elsewhere because you want a better job or more pay.  If you do found a better job, then you should go for it.  The satisfaction of a good job almost always out weight money.  But if you are doing it for more money, you should still leave.  I mean, if your current company doesn't appreciate you until you threaten to leave.  What about the next time?  Is this the only way you can ever get a raise?  You may be better off at a different company.

i would try to find a better job, either more money or more job satisfaction or ideally both.  if you find something better you should get out and don't look back.

Of course this sounds like a good idea - when does not making more money not sound like a good idea? Only thing is, with employers having to jump minimum to $7.25, we'll end up seeing the results in higher product and living costs so minimum wage earners are back to not making enough for living expenses.

No, I would rather not work. All the years I spent working I never got to know myself, my family, and my whole life revoved around it. I always had crap bosses who were addicted to their little bit of power, etc. Im glad Ive retired.

I've turned down several positions due to the same reason.  \n\nPolitely/professionally decline, without apologizing, and move on.  "After thinking about it carefully, I'm going to turn down the offer at this time. Thank you."\n\nNo need for an explanation, unless they politely press for one.\n\nTry to "keep the bridge connected."  Something else may open up later.

You earn $2 for 1-2 hours of work? Gee that sounds so... tempting? NOT!

I would.  If your current job provides too much stress, what's more important is your health and well-being.  Even if it's difficult to make ends meet, "God will find a way".  And if you're not a religious person, "A way will be found".

If it is the same line of business that I am currently in then I would.  \n\nIf it's same job more pay, I wouldn't hesitate.

Anybody who offers makes an unsolicited job offer is likely to be in it for themselves, not you.  Especially if there is no regular salary, or they want money up front.  Tread very carefully indeed !!!

No, it would clear my debts and leave me £20,000 which is enough to lose me my benefits but not enough to do anything with. I would not turn it down though

if you refuse a job that is not suitable for you or if it was for good cause you may be okay. if you pay more for a babysitter than you bring home, don't work .
