when considering a career the most important issue is money. Do you agree?

No, then working as a hit man would be the ideal job. The most important thing is to find a job you enjoy doing so you aren't bored. I worked 25 years for the same employer because I enjoyed it. We had to move and I have put in another 9 years in the same field and I plan to work into my 70s because I like what I am doing. I could have made more money but I would have had ulcers and the stress of unhappiness on my body doing something I didn't enjoy.

You should take the job you passed up, until you get a better paying one.  Some pay is better than no pay.\n\nIf there was some way to get a lot of cash w/o having to work for it, we would all be rich.

First of all are you really ready for a change? And is money the only factor you look for in an employment opportunity.\n\nAlso, think about this: Would you truly be satisfied if you made more money?\n\nYou should really think long and hard about what you want to accomplish on a new job before you leave your present one.\n\nWhen you figure out the answers to these questions you are ready to make a change......

It depends on what the work actually is. For me, if I enjoy the work, that is much more important than pay and benefits. I do want a salary that will allow me to provide for my family, and a little more for saving and "fun money", but I'm not looking to get rich from work. More is better, but it is not as important to me as the actual work is.

Today both are important. Money and happiness.\n\nMoney to make ends meet and happiness to give meaning to your life.\n\nGiven a choice I would chose happiness.\n\nMoney can't buy happiness and even with all the money in the world my life will remain the same.\n\nThough if I'm happy then I will have the spirit to put in my best in all I do which will also help me excel at my work and earn enough to at-least make ends meet.

i just recently changed careers and i had a degree in the career i left it is a difficult change and it takes a lot of research the main thing is money.  it is difficult to find a job to pay what you need.  i saved a lot of money (at least 3 months of pay) then found what i wanted to do and switched to it but make it gradual and i would try to go to school part time so you can get back to the level you were at except in a different career.

I thoroughly loved my work when I was working - retired now and thoroughly enjoying that too.  However, I think it is important to keep life in perspective.  \n\n"Work is what you do so that someone will give you money so that you can do the things you really want and need to do.  It is a real plus if your work is something you really enjoy and it makes you feel satisfied and productive."

Yes, and Yes- but to make a marriage decision based on financial considerations would be akin to prostitution.  If you love someone enough to marry them, it should be beyond that.

You do have a point but to get money you must have a brain. You could have had that guy with money if you had used your brain. You can get free health care or family assistant health care if you use your brain. Don't stereotype middle age low income mothers we do have brains that can get us a SUGAR DADDY that can take care of our needs or we are motivated enough to get a better job to take care of the family. So money is not important it's what you use to get it.

It depends on your responsibilities.  If you are single and not supporting anyone then you have a freedom to take the risks of a dream job with a lot less pay.  However with this freedom, you also have the added responsibility of living with in your means.  \nIf you are supporting a child, or your parents in old age, then the ablility to pay the bills is likely to be more important than the excitement of having your dream job.\nIf you are married, then the answer is somewhere in between.  You spouse should be supportive and want you to be happy, but you should also both be contributing financially to your partnership.  \nIt really is a question only you can answer for yourself given your values and your situation.  Also keep in mind that you can try one or the other and if it does work out, try the other.  Changing careers is very common these days.

Yes.  Even if you aren't interested in the money, but the experience and exposure you get from working will definitely benefit you in the short and long run.  For example, how to cope with your co-workers & customers, how is it like to be working, how to handle stress, how to be solve problems, your ability to be flexible, meeting new peole and creating a network of friends and so on.

Money is not everything and we have dreams for a reason.\n\nWhy is it that some people think money is so all important? Look at some of the wealthiest people of the world, they are also some of the most unhappy people around.\n\nPersonally, I've had money, nothing and now am in the middle, which is the best place to be by far. Money does not bring happiness, often it brings people who just want you for it. \n\nFollow your dream, it is in your heart for a reason. Make sure you research it, network with those in it now and possibly try it out for a summer job. One good way to see if the dream is really a dream...and not a nightmare.
