Which is more important?
Hypothetical situation - you have two job options before you - one is job "A" that doesn't particularly excite you but the pay is great (think $60k/yr) and benefits are decent and the other is job "B" that excites you to go to work everyday and has great benefits but the pay is marginal at best (Think $38K/yr). All other things being equal which job would you choose? Is the idea of loving your job more important than money or are you all about the benjamins?

Pole to follow.

Well, now you've moved the goal posts from "Doesn't excite" to "Being in a bad mood".

IMO, you still take the dough because then it's on your resume and moving forward, that will your value at the least.

Would you rather take job A jacking off swine making say $150,000 a year or
job B doing what you love in the movie industry but only make $65k a year? It's only a job right?
If jacking off swine paid $150k a year, there'd be a long line forming to the left.

Too many variables... for the most part I'd say if you can afford it, you're better off doing what you love, which will often bring more money your way.

And like others said, it depends if you hate Job A or are just okay with it... and it depends on the number of hours, stress, if your interests outside of work require the extra money, etc.

Job A. I'll take the money and have more fun while I'm not at work.

Move the line closer to 10k difference.

Say job A is 60k. Job B is 50k. Well, then I think I'd consider job B if job B is my supposed dream job.

This is the deal breaker for me.

I'd rather be paid well for something I enjoy, rather than paid reallly well for something that put me in a bad mood. In the long run, it would be hard to separate the two.

If it's just a stepping stone to something better, ride the storm out and bank the cash.

It sounds like they are close to your scenario if he were to monetize benefits.

I think the problem with this range is that one is "barely get by" and the other one is "well"

This is probably more of a Rain Man type of question, but how many people in the US actually love their industry, job or profession?

That would be a good CP question too. It would be very interesting. I bet most aren't in love with their jobs.

$38k seems plenty to me.... I made a couple trips to Europe on that salary, bought a new car on less than that, granted I'm single with no kids. $30k or $45k would be closer to 'getting by' and 'having extra dough', IMO, at least for the midwest.

And when I was earning $38k a year, I was broke, had to ride the LA Metro to work and was working hard to pay off credit card debt while living in a crap apartment that cost me $800 a month.

Speaking of benefits. I've rarely ever used any of my benefits, as I am young and haven't really needed to use them.

But I did get pretty sick a couple months ago. Went to the doctor and was given Flonase as one of my prescriptions and the health insurance tried to make me pay $63 for Flonase! WTF? I said forget that, and grabbed the one off the shelf for $20.

I had a couple other shady things go on, but why in the hell would my insurance try to charge me $63?

Oh yeah, last time I was in LA fun activities included counting Teslas (lost count around 25) and scouting home/rental costs on the zillow app while driving up the coast.
