Whilst I used to be a firm beliver that if you were happy in your work , you are more likely to be happy in life in general, and as such, a lesser paid but better job is better than a higher paid but shit job - I have come to realise that happiness doesn't pay bills....

Now I would rather be in a job I dislike but pays me enough to have better quality of life, as opposed to be in a job I love, but means I am skint all the time.....
