can explain your detail situation here?

mind posting what job and how high is the salary of your not so ideal job? also the job of your interest and how much roughly is the paid?

we might come out some better view.

yeah,environment is another factor like some people mention previously.

if you like your job,but your collegue and boss treat you like dog,you wouldn't be happy working too.

in the opposite,even though you dont see any future in your career,but you enjoy doing it and the collegue and boss are nice, you will be more happy than the previously mentioned.
