[QUOTE="Iamchris, post: 15368366, member: 21687"] Money isn't everything, but it sure does make it easier the enjoy living the good life. A job decision is almost always a balance between happiness and responsibility. How much you have to put up with versus how much you gain from it. So for example, digging ditches for 10$ an hour is going to be a bad choice. It is a hard job that is physically demanding and the pay isn't great. If it were your only option, it would make sense, but if you could serve French fries for 9.50 an hour, that would make more sense to most people, unless that extra .50 cents is going to be the difference between surviving and not surviving. I have taken less pay to do a more meaningful, fulfilling and less stressful job, and I was happy doing it. I could afford to take the pay cut though. You have to consider your benefits as parts of your compensation. You may be able to live today without the 401K, but if you can't save equally then you may sacrifice tomorrow, and honestly that is worse. You need to evaluate the compensation you are going to receive versus your willingness/need to do both jobs. To answer your question though, many people have taken a pay cut to get out of a bad job. If you aren't happy, then make something happen for yourself, even if it isn't this old job. If you have to cut back on cable, cell phones, and subscriptions to make ends meet while you make less money... it is probably worth it to get out of a job you don't like. [/QUOTE]
