Re: A Rock And A Hard Place
I'd rather have a shitty job and a great paycheck.
Hell you need a great paycheck to afford to live in california these days .

Re: A Rock And A Hard Place
A job that you love, and paycheck thats really shitty
we work 8 hours per day (in general), 8 hours of sleep - which leaves us 8 hours per day to do something we actually like doing (not counting the travel home-work and back, preparing food, eating, cleaning and stuff..). When to live? On the weekend? Only? Life's short enough, and I don't wanna waste 1/3 of it on doing something I hate just to earn money.. As long as I have enough money to survive, I'd prefer to have a job I like.

Re: A Rock And A Hard Place
I'd go with the latter, because with it you can make enough money to go back to school and get a job you love.Then you'd never need to work a day again, but you could do what you love and get paid a little in its stead. I'm doing that. I'm becoming an engineer and eventually a manager, and then I'm going back to school to be a band teacher.

Re: A Rock And A Hard Place
A shitty job with a great paycheck.
Seriously, how long will you actually be keeping it? Save the money and get the schooling for a job that you love that has a great paycheck.

Re: A Rock And A Hard Place
I picked a job that I love, with a shitty paycheck, cause I would want to have a job where I'm happy. I could always sell stuff at a car boot sale or something if I needed more money. Or get more than one job!

Things are better if I stay

Well if you carry on this way
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight

Can you hear me?
Are you near me?
Do we deserve, to leave the earth

Re: A Rock And A Hard Place
Then Id still stick with the crappy job and better pay check. It's always better to have more money than not enough.

Re: A Rock And A Hard Place
Um, does money make you happy?
Seriously, money makes this world go round.
I'd still go with the shitty job that makes a hell of a lot of money.
You never know when you might need it.

Re: A Rock And A Hard Place
Right now, I would take a horrible job if I would get a good paycheck. I need money and since I am unemployed, I would do anything. But normally I would rather have a job that I absolutely love even if I didn't make good money. Money usually isn't very important to me. Life is to short to do something you hate everyday.
I LOVE DON!!!!

Re: A Rock And A Hard Place
I wouldn't take that job, then. Look for jobs closer to you that don't put you in such tense. I selected getting a job that you love. Even if the paycheck isn't the best, you're doing what makes you happy. In the end, happiness is what truly matters. Money is needed, but not so much of it. And if you truly have a passion for something, you can pursue it til you reach the top of the latter.
Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.

Re: A Rock And A Hard Place
I completely agree with Nikki on this one, as great as money is. We spend so much of our time working these days that it's better to do something you love. Plus then you'd be willing to work more since you love it so much and you'd be getting overtime. Life is way too short to spend it doing something we hate.

She's so big hearted
but not so remarkable
just an ordinary humble girl
expecting nothing as we may
to think it's a pretty person's worth
you are beautiful
and you'd better go show it
so go and look again
you gotta be true only if you really wanna go to the top and you really wanna win
don't believe in living normal
just to satisfy demand
Well, if you wanna get free
and if wanna get smart by the sake of your heart
you should own your lame and stand up tall

And I'm going to extremes
Tomorrow I will change
And today won't mean a thing
I'm a bitch, I'm a tease
I'm a goddess on my knees
When you hurt, when you suffer
I'm your angel undercover
I've been numb, I'm revived
Can't say I'm not alive
You know I wouldn't want it any other way
