Work for money or pleasure?

[sarra234]

What would you choose a job that brings a lot of money and no pleasure or a job that brings you pleasure but with very little income....

What is more important for you money or pleasure ???

[mlevenhagen]

If I had to choose.. pleasure. If it was just for a short time and I could have lots of pleasure spending the money I made from the 'not so pleasurable' job, I might make an exception and just focus on the goal.

But the great thing is, you can have both.

I'd ask what you thought, but I just noticed you were banned.. that's not very pleasurable.

I choose the immeasurable one, pleasure. I'm pretty bad with numbers...I almost got broke a few months ago bacause of my bad math ability

[unitminer]

also poor people are happy, so pleasure is definitely the answer

[minstrel]

Who says poor people are happy? My guess is a lot of them aren't.

[mlevenhagen]

Yeah, I'd think there are rich, poor and everyone in between that are happy and unhappy. Money, what a person does or has accomplished has next to zero to do with it.

[unitminer]

Yes, exactly, money has nothing to do with pleasure!
I remember times, when I had no money, but I was happy with my job. I worked multiple months without any profit in this way.

I think everyone, who started business from zero had nothing at the beginning and just pleasure kept it going... money was later just a nice bonus to the pleasure :-)

Honestly this is a hard question for me? As at now i don't know which of the two to choose. If you say pleasure something will arrive that you would earnestly need some cash for while busy is not something i love.

Personally am so busy working a day job as well as an internet job. Both are not generating sufficient income that i can depend on one.

The overstress has led to pre-mature gray hair for me. Which has been a lot of concern for me lately.

The lack of money has also led me the breakup someone i really love. We are far apart that i had to travel many miles to get to her. Well, she mistook irregular visit for something else and not too long we gave the struggle.

This an interesting question.

A job with more pleasure is great,

and because you are happy, and enjoy yourself, you'll get more money in the future.

If you could have a job that pays well and you are happy doing it - then you're already luckier than 70% of the world I am grateful that I like doing my job, but I think I would chose money for now, since I have to support my kid
