One of the main reasons I picked my current career is because it paid relatively well. I came to regret it. I got burnt out and grew to hate it. I wish I'd chosen a career in something I really loved instead, even if it didn't pay that well.
Exactly this. I don't really care if it pays well if I hate the system. If I hate using it, if I don't believe in it, if I feel like it isn't the right product for the customers I am supposed to help.
