Hi all, want to know if you are only able to choose one job between a job with higher pay and a job that you like (with below average pay), which would you choose?

Thanks in advance.

Both. I won't take a my 'ideal' job if the pay is waaaaaaay to low. Neither do I take something that I don't like

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. I have the same thinking as you too. But for now I think its difficult and need time to find an ideal job.

Hmmm let say average salary for Degree graduates is 1.8k, if the job of my interest only offer salary at range 1.3k-1.6k, will it be considered low?

Hmmm thanks for all the input again. I think in my case the higher salary job might suit me more tongue.gif since i think the job of my interest wont have much future sweat.gif

Hi, thanks for all the feedbacks. Was starting this thread to gather what others think and will choose if it comes to just interest vs pay, as it might help me or others when facing such situation. And sorry for the limited poll options sweat.gif

Yup, you all are right too, like the situation I'm in now. Although I dont like/enjoy what I'm doing, but all my colleagues are nice to me. Now I'm still trying hard to like what I'm doing sweat.gif tongue.gif

Wow shinichi they must be a really nice group of people and if a boss has an employee such as you it will be great since you are trying really hard to gain satisfaction from the job  rclxms.gif  when some people just check-in check-out daily waiting for 5.30pm or 6pm finishing time  tongue.gif  tongue.gif

Hi, actually I'm not as "good" as what you think tongue.gif Its because I dont know what job I should change now, so till I find another job, I have to like what I'm doing now or else I'll feel suffer to work there tongue.gif
