Money matters!!
I would always go for a job that pays well even if I am not happy as I need to pay bills and buy stuff that I like. In the meantime, I would certainly carry on with my search for a job with the same salary range in the field that I love.
In life it is very hard to find a job that you love and pays you good. But, as we all know life is a struggle and we need to overcome those struggles.
Life is not easy, it is harder and everyone has to face it but what we are doing is trying to avoid it so we are struggling for our basic needs since we prefer salary over the career.Remember the first step is always harder once we start doing it then we will be the master of it and at some point we will earn more with no tiredness of doing that job.
Yes money really matters in our life but it isn't the most important thing, money is very overrated and honestly life is more than just money. If I were to choose between the two I will choose a job that I like/love even if it only pays me low because money is not a good thing to be our main goal in choosing our career path because if you do and you don't like the job very much you will suffer for the rest of your life, as long as I am earning with the job that I love even if its only a low salary I will still continue on doing it for I won't see it as my job only but as something that I love to do and i will be happy doing my job but if the job I like doesn't earn me money at all or I barely earn from that job it is a different story, with that situation you need to be practical and set aside your dreams but don't forget about it because you will eventually find it after things have settled in your life
