Money/Satisfaction

Heres a question for all of you guys. I've been going throw this for a while now, and i just wanted to know what the general public or FIRSTers opinion about this.

Would you prefer Satisfaction over money or money over satisfaction?

eg like if you hate your job but you are doing it for money, or you are doing a crappy job but is satisfied and don't worry about the money that much?

Re: Money/Satisfaction

I suppose it depends on the situation.

Assuming I'm able to provide for myself and my family, then I would definitely choose satisfaction. I'd rather make $50,000/year and be fulfilled than $300,000/year and not be happy.

But, if choosing satisfaction over money meant I couldn't provide for myself and family, I would choose money. In this situation, it'd be better to be making $15,000/year working night shifts at a diner than doing something you enjoy, for free, and not being able to provide.
