I agree that the first job isn't about money. I know people who will say otherwise but in essence, I feel that the first job should be selected based on how much you think you can reap from your employers in terms of knowledge and experience.

well, there are ambitious ppl who look for both. Why shouldnt this job pay me well and allow me to learn at the same time? In my personal opinion, "nobody is going to pay you well if the job is easy as everyone can do it" and "you get paid well doing jobs that can only be done by certain ppl".

Of course as a fresh grad you will not be doing extremely difficult task but in essence, you join the company to earn more and they will throw you those difficult task sooner or later otherwise it isnt worth paying you so much.

It really depends on the profession you are in, I believe. In the profession I am in, either your employers train you well or they don't train you at all. So picking a wrong employer and then making a heap of mistakes could be a confidence shattering career move. I admit I don't know how all employers train their staff but based on my experience and hearsay of my friends, I do believe that it'd be better to pick the job that trains you more. That is you have to choose between salary and experience/training.
