what matters the most to you?

A job isnt fun if you dont enjoying what you do.

not everyone marries for love...

Then I dont see why they should get married, except it is for the old grandpa's money.

which is the 2nd last option here, paycheck size

i say paycheck size and it has to be something i enjoy and would like to put effort into .

If I was forced to work... it would be the $$$$$$$.

yeah probably

Can't pick one. =/ Has to be a combination of some of them, but w/e.

Depends on the job too. If it's just some summer job to make money, no need to enjoy it I guess. If it's something you'll be doing for the rest of your life... waka waka.

Only one option?

Personally I think that:

1-Having fun at the job.
2-Fun people around me.
3-Pays decent.
4-Not to far away.

I have 1-3 in my job.

P.S: Working as a software dev for a fairly large Dutch Firm.

Yeah indeed every job is good because it pays much.... not . If you don't like yer job you want last long.

Not working. I blame the economic crisis. I plan on never working until I come back from the Army though I get paid $50,000 a year for being in there, so thats aiight.

Balance of everything. Before i had a job.. i would've said money. Now err i dunno.. cant pick just one.

Money isn't everything. Some of the best jobs I have had I was earning peanuts. But I was much happier in those jobs then when I have been earning a decent wage.

You gave several up eventually..... I have had 2 jobs so far, atm I'm getting payed more then most my age. But its mainly just fun, the money is just extra. If you don't like your work you'll prrly get stressed faster etc. Anyway, whatever rock your boat, I don't like my life all about just teh money.

I would rather make $10 an hour doing something I loved than make $30 an hour doing something I hated.

I was gonna select "enjoying what you do," but then I scanned down the list and saw "benefits" lol. Living in the U.S, even if you do have health insurance you still get fcked over, and with my health condition (type 1 Diabetes), "benefits" are more appealing.

You might earn a lot of money in your job but you have to think about what's going to happen in the long run. Even if you know you need to support your family, if you really don't like a job, it's going to affect you and your interaction with other people. Know your priorities and make sure you at least like the job even if you don't love it.

I say:

- class
- money
- hawtness
- possibillities
- the look on my CV (most important for me. Did you know that it's soo good for your resermay to have worked at McD's?? then they know you can work hard xD srsly.

but then you can retire earlier and spend rest of ur life doing watever you want

QFT

Hating your job can lead to stress and anxiety which, if untreated or ignored, can lead to serious health issues, including mental health issues. Anxiety attacks are no fun!

Using your skillz. I didn't spend all this money at college to get stuck at some desk doing write ups. As far as doing something you love, thats a piss up. As long as your doing something you don't hate it should be good enough. Doing something you love is why we have so many kids going to "art school" which means they'll be poor and useless and end up working at dennys. And as far as doing something for just the paycheck, well that kinda makes you a whore imo.

lol well someone's gotta work there Besides, if working at a place like Denny's enables them the time, energy, and lifestyle necessary to pursue their art, more power to them.

EDIT: And you most likely did spend all your time and money to get stuck in job where you don't really use a lot of your skills (unless you're in a technical profession). At least until you're considered an "experienced professional" or you get really f-ing lucky when you land a job.

rolf no one voted for "making a difference

read the first and didn't read the rest...

I'll be joining the military, and in the military you get paid by rank, so pay isn't a huge worry for me. So when I talk to my recruiter and we put everything in writing, I will be choosing a job doing something that I enjoy. Thus, I picked enjoying what you do.

No its called going to college for a career that matters, its called going to the right college so you have contacts and job offers set up before you leave college, its called making something of your life and not riding the wave hoping for the best. Basically its called not being stupid.

Morally i would choose the first option, but logically i chose the money
