Absolutely not. Especially not if you have a family to support. People whine about lack of a “living wage”, living paycheck to paycheck, stagnant wages, etc all the time. The reason why people are in those positions is because they make stupid choices like this. It doesn’t matter if it’s “fulfilling” or not. The only thing that matters is how much money you make because “fulfillment” won’t pay the bills and send your kids to college, buy nice cars, buy food, or pay for vacation. Money does and will.

@@nightfangs2910 I would imagine the suicide rate among broke people in debt is also high. I followed my own advice and I’m fine. I retired in my 50s because I made lots of money and now I’m 100% stress free because I can do whatever I want. The caller could do what my neighbor did: follow the money and retire early and wealthy, then pursue your passion after you retire early. He was a sales executive for a massive corporation and retired in his early 50s and is now a substitute teacher because he loves working with young people. Now he’s wealthy and lives the rest of his life in luxury and he gets to do what he loves. I suffered depression when I was in college because my parents wouldn’t let me transfer to my now wife’s college because my dad made the same stupid career choice being discussed in this video and I considered suicide because of it.

I have a similar dilemma in my life coming up soon. I have an opportunity to work a different job that’s way less stressful than my current job but maxes out around $50k-$70k less than my current job. I’m likely to take that lower paying job because the stress and hours are way lower. If I feel I need the extra money, I can take those extra hours I gained back and do side work to make back ~$25k of that. But only if I want to, I don’t necessarily need the extra income, I’ll be more than comfortable on the lower paying job.

Also definitely consider if you will like the people you will work with. Much research has been done and that has shown to be the biggest factor in happiness at work. You may find the work more interesting at the lower paying job but if you have to deal with nitwits all day then the other job is the better choice assuming the people at that company are more pleasant to work with. Or you may decide that you do not want to make a change because you presently like the people you work with and perhaps can negotiate something with your current employer.

Choosing the long term higher payout is the way to go. The problem is that too many people today will choose a job they like even if it has less long term pay and then they turn around and go on social media about how it’s successful peoples’ fault they’re poor and complain about lack of a “living wage”, wage stagnation, income inequality, and living paycheck to paycheck. They did it to themselves with their own stupid choices. “Fulfillment” won’t pay the bills and send your kids to college. Money will.
