I agree. I have had jobs that I loathed and jobs that I have loved and jobs I liked. When you put it in prespective and think about working for the next 30-40 years of your life, why would someone want a job that they hated just because the money is very good. It makes a difference when you wake up in the morning and look forward to going off to work instead of dreading it. In the long run you will have less stress and probably a longer life. Do what you enjoy, life is too short as it is, don't spend it hating your job.

I don't make the "big bucks" but it is enough to live on, for me that is enough. Course to me being rich and keeping up with the neighbors has never been important to me.
