Money

For me, a job is a job. It's never going to be enjoyable so I would choose money.

I need to see some percentages and figures to decide.

Shamozzle · 14-04-2013 05:32PM

Money.

In this country, you gotta make the money first. Then when you get the money, you get the power. Then when you get the power, then you get the women.

Depends. I would proberly do with the job i love doing that just pays the bills.
But in all honesty even if you picked that other that only means that you will have more money to presue another interest that you love (such as traveling or skydiving or whatever)
Ideally - Both!!!

Money. There's very little I wouldn't do to earn a few euro.

14-04-2013 05:34PM

money - i can buy love

ruaille buaille · 14-04-2013 05:34PM

I've had both and I'm not sure which one is worse

PrincessPreach · 14-04-2013 05:34PM

I'd rather have a job that I love doing cos i'd be happier and more fulfilled all round. I could probably handle the banality of being a bit broke and unable to afford luxuries if I was content on a daily basis going to work.

Then again, i could probably handle the banality of a job that doesn't fulfill me if i could eat (hookers) out every night after work, get wasted on the reg, buy top notch coke and live in a hedonistic surreal bubble.

Sigh...sadly I'm in neither of the above scenarios and am just drifting along awaiting inevitable death:(

mardybumbum · 14-04-2013 05:35PM

Hopefully I will be lucky enough and have both but If I had to choose one it would be a job that I enjoyed.

Latchy · 14-04-2013 05:36PM

Money but ''money can't buy me love .....waoah ''

Wlll that's sad.

I love my job so I'd have to go with love first. Screw making loads of money if you spend 40 hours a week hating it.

Definitely money. That makes me sound bad doesn't it?

I just would hate to be in a position in life where I barely paid the bills. That's not an easy life to live. I work to live, not the other way around, so I'd rather spend 8 hours a day a little less than joyous so that I could afford to spend my evenings and weekends as I please without having to worry about money.

Better again would be doing something I loved while getting really well paid, obviously.

anncoates · 14-04-2013 05:44PM

Even an enjoyable job is a job and you'd rather not go in most of the time so you may as well be bored for more money.

ruaille buaille · 14-04-2013 05:46PM

But if you think about it, you nearly spend as much, if not more time in work than u do at home. So should u just go for the lesser paid fun job??

wolfpawnat · 14-04-2013 05:52PM

When it comes down to it - money. I am currently working in the job I love but only because I am supplementing the income by running my own business. I have minimal interest in the business but I am not willing to live on the money from the job I love either.

40 hours doing the job you hate and 128 hours to live the good life.

Money does buy happiness and the lack of it can cause untold misey

gg2 · 14-04-2013 06:28PM

Money as long as there was love going on in other aspects of my life......... But, if unfortunately, family and friends were to abandon me, I was single with no sign of love coming along, basically if home life was bad I would need a job I love, that gives me fulfillment.

You mightn't sleep all that easy if you're struggling to pay the bills!

I sleep 49 MAX a week and that's at a push.

Money, it seems like an obvious choice to me.

Seeing as the average wage in ireland is still over 40000 and was more, I don't think that is exactly causing untold misery! And for less paying jobs, who would love any minimum wage job? Although perhaps that is skewed by large earners, depends on what wage people see as tough to live on.

Love or money?
