Money or a Job you love?

I tend to be a pragmatist about jobs so, I'd take the higher income and
"find" something about it that would provide satisfaction. I'd find a silver
lining.

I find that in the past years or so, I stress out too easily at jobs I dislike...so I would settle now for lower pay (within walking distance) and healing for a while!

I would definately take a lower paid job I like, as long as I could survive on a daily basis.

I would take the higher pay

then use the money to do things I enjoy...like pay bills!

I agree.

I'd take the lower paying job as long as it covered all the essentials and wasn't extremely tight all the time. However, I *hate* working for "the man" making slightly above minimum wage and plan on starting my own business doing what I love anyways.

I would rather enjoy my job, considering how much time you ultimately spend doing it. But, I'd take a higher paying job that I was so-so about before taking a much lower paying job doing something I loved. There haven't really been any jobs that I hated, I'm pretty easy going and can usually find something to be happy about. So, I don't imagine I'll ever really have to worry about that choice.
