Job Satisfaction pwns all.
Like me, previously was a lowly-paid Creative Writer but didn't mind the minimal pay UNTIL company treated us shabbily. So there, low pay doesn't mean the end of the world is nigh but as long as you get the experience, then it should be alright.

Work hard to get a higher salary but don't make that the ONLY criteria.

Funny how most people think that the longer your title, the better your pay. XD LOLs.
