Is it ok to change career to make more money even if the future job/work type is not satisfying?

You need to answer this one for yourself.\nAsk yourself: Will more money make me happier than I am now - happy enough to change jobs?  Can I stand to do the other job for the rest of my career?  Can I survive and be content with the money from my current job?

Only if this job is what you really want for your future.\nThen, you have to "work hard" and be patient and tolerated in whatever current environment, take up all challenges.

Sometimes you just have to suck it up and stick with it.  In the meantime, you could try to determine where you want to go next, and work towards that.  Don't let your current boss know that you might be looking for another job, though.

do you have some sort of problem with making more money?take the job for crap sake

whut? \n\nhow old are you and what do you like to do.  It'd be good to find a career doing something you enjoy doing.  Figure out your priorities-- making more money or having more time, for example.

You are old enough to decide your career path.  Your job needs to be what you want because you may be doing it most of your life and doing something you don't enjoy will make you miserable.  Be true to yourself..it is your life and your career.

I think that would largely depend on WHY you are looking for another job. For instance, you financially not doing well and you need a hihger-paying job, you can go ahead and tell that to your boss (you never know, he/she might give you a raise in response). Or if you're moving and you have to get a job nearer to your new place. However, if you're looking because you think you're current job sucks or you are just plain tired of it, then it is not a good idea to tell your boss before hand.\n\nAnd, yes, it will be a good idea to tell your future boss that you haven't told your current boss yet that you're looking for a new job... but i suggest you do this only if you don't have any choice. you wouldn't want to send the wrong message to your prospect boss: "when i want to leave, i'm going behind your back and try to look for a new job without telling you."

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.

I've done the same and was glad I did. Your  work life is a huge chunk of your week. Better to be in something you love than in something you would not be as happy with. Money is only money. Happiness can't be bought.

The only way that I would consider switching jobs for the same pay would be if there were other perks involved? Are the benefits better?Are the hours better? Is it closer to home? If you're just leaving one gig for the same gig then you have to be leaving to better your situation somehow otherwise, it's point less. May as well just stay where you are. Plus, you have more experience than you did when you started so where ever you go next, you should demand more $ because of what you will be bringing to the company.

Depends if you can AFFORD to quit. Do you have money to survive until your next job comes along? If you don't then continue working until you find another job to replace the job you hate.

I'd go with the fact of it's not a good fit for you, you feel you have no opportunity for advancement, and that you've gone as far as you think you're going to go with that company, and that you're looking for a change. \n\nGood luck!!!

There is absolutely no reason why you can't change your career. You already have many credits under your belt, see what else you need and go for it. As far as I am concerned any time is a good time to change your career ESPECIALLY if you are not happy in it. Of course the decision is yours to make, so look into it and do what you need to do and then do it..Good Luck

The only advice I can give is this:  follow your heart.  It isn't all about the money.  I learned that lesson myself.  I was at a job I really liked, and to earn more money, I went to another job.  In the end, I ended up getting stressed out & being miserable at the new job, so I went back to my first, lesser paying job & have been much happier.  If you are a believer in God, you could also pray about it & ask Him to give you guidance on making your decision.  Trust me, prayer works....I've seen it!!!!  Good luck!!!

There is  a difference between being paid well/benefitting from and job and being happy and fulfilled.  The question isn't what would I do, the question is whether or not you are willing to possibly sacrifice the good parts of the job you have for something that gives you the chance to do something you feel is more worthwhile.

Remember that a 'good' job will change over the years.  Find what you love now... and do it.  When you're 40, 50 that goal of the perfect job will definitely be different.\n\nHaving a lot of $$ is nice, but it is NOT happiness.
