I can't agree with this one bit. If you only work a job for the money you will always be poor no matter how much money you make.
In life you will put more hours at your 'job' than anything else except sleeping if you don't enjoy it that makes for a long life, and not in a good way IMO.

i must say the same to you. i can definitely see your point though.
to me, even though you will spend a good majority of your life at the "job" the most important part of my life is my home life. so even though my home life is a small fraction compared to my work life, it has more value. so, the sacrifice is well worth it.
i work a mediocre paying job:
Pros:
-i love every minute of my job
Cons:
-too many hours, therefore less time for the family(possibly)
-quality of life at home slightly lacks
-no great family vacations, getaways (best memories i have of my family and fiance)
-medical and dental care is possibly not high on the scale of priorities
-food choices are limited (i love eating)
-stress about finances
-can't live where you want to live
-less money to put into retirement
great paying job but i dont LOVE it, simply like:
pros:
-more time with the family
-can afford numerous family getaways and vacations
-health and dental care is easily affordable
-less financial stress
-can eat what you want when you want it
-live where you want
-can enjoy your golden years with your spouse better
cons:
-dont LOVE the job
-can't wait to get home
like jayhawk says though, its about how you prioritize your life and what is important to you. to some it truly is about loving your job and others its more about having a great home life. few lucky people get the best of both worlds.
