Of course it is always better if the money is good. But to get pay good money for doing something that you don't enjoy than it is not really worth it. Thats why people like myself are searching to change career and looking to find for something that is a little more meaningful. I am one of those people that aren't happy with my job. I helped others and watched them succeed in their work. I got paid good money doing it. But somehow I don't feel full fill. I watched those I helped succeed stepping on others to get their ways and I thought to myself. Why in the hell did I help them in the first place? I understand people are being people. But damn, its just a job don't kill yourself over it. Meaningful work is when you get pay to do what you enjoy doing most day-in day-out. Of course it is always better if the money is good.
