    I say you do something that you enjoy. Don't do it if you hate it so much. But if you like the money then stay. Do what you think is right. I really can't tell you what you should do but I can at least give you this advice. Follow your heart. But my advice would still have to be do what you enjoy. Like they say Money can't buy you everything. It may be nice to have at times but it always is going to run out. Take that job, be adventurous.

    It depends on you bills and you way of life. I would try to find the best paying job that I like. With that said if you don't have the money to pay your bill your will not be happy no matter how much you enjoy you job.

    I wouldn't hesitate - I'd do the thing you enjoy more for less. Life's too short.

    You'll probably find that if it's something you're passionate about it won't be long before you're earning more money anyway.

    I went through a similar dilemma and came out the other side in one piece. The world doesn't stop turning. I now work fewer hours and get paid a lot more too :)

    I think that depends on a number of factors...

    First, can you afford to make less money?

    Second, is your health being affected at your present job?

    Third, Can you survive comfortably on the wages from the job you'd enjoy?

    Fourth, if you have a family, how would the preferred job affect quality and quantity of time you can spend with your family.

    I'm sure there are other factors to consider, too.
