      I work for freedom. I would suffer through the first half of the year to be able to take the other half of the year off and enjoying myself.

      well they both have advantages, but getting paid almost always seems to get whatever you want in life

      If you don't enjoy it, sooner or later you'll be depressed and end off killing yourself because you won't want to deal with it ever again.

      If you love your job, you won't have to work a single day of your life. (It's more of a hobby...that you get paid for.)

      In this world you should be lucky for any kind of paying job, finding a job you like is about 95% impossible.

    When the work you do is overpassed by the gold in your pocket, happiness is a lost cause. Money can't buy love.

    I'm sorry but I'd prolly quit if the job sucked that bad. It's kind of a "this is what we would pay you but since you're having fun we cut it down." I'd rather the one i love.

    Basically, doing a job you love is like not working at all. And you get paid for it.

    What if the high paying job is (for females) being a prostitute or stripper. Or an assassin,it has to be something you HATE, like maybe you got paid to eat spiders.

    If you chose the red section, you are an idiot. While it would be nice to have a job you enjoy, there are more things in life than your work. While being at work will be fun, the rest of your life will suffer because you will be broke. At least if you hate your job, and get paid well, you have enough cash to do all the things you want in your free time. Not to mention you could retire much earlier and not work at at all. Most people hate their jobs anyway, so its not like you wouldn't be part of the majority.

    I assumed it was VERY high salary.........if so I would just live through it (I mean, how bad can a very high salary job be?) and then I would retire/go to a job I love and then be successful. Or I'd retire and go to hawaii, bitchez :D

    Money cant buy love or happiness I mean sure your happy at first with your nice cars, swimming pools, 3 mansions but then you realize that you really dont need all this crap your all alone in a big house tons of expensive stuff everywere but no one to share it with. Basicly what im trying to say is that "Its lonely at the top" and you wont really understand this until you go through it.

    it doesnt say how high so I'm thinking above and beyond and before you say they never say how low there is a standard for a low salary.
