Would you take a job that you *absolutely* hate, because the pay was good? I mean, really, really good?

There are two things I would have to consider in the answer to this question. 1- How much do I really need the money? Is it worth sacrificing quality of life for? 2- For how long am I commiting to do this job? If it is for the short term and for a predetermined amount of time, it might be worth it. Is there something specific you need to save the money up for? But its not a good idea to commit yourself to it indefinately because if you hate it, in the end you will find a way to loose it anyways. Hope it helps, Sarah

Liquid waste removal must pay well because I can't see anyone loving that job! :)

Yes, unless it was unhealthful, immoral, or carried with it some other major problem. It's amazing what a person can adjust to, in terms of like/dislike. I'd hold the job long enough to sock away a good bit of money, learn everything there was to be learned, and then I'd be off. The salary in the rotten job would permit me to negotiate a higher salary in the next job than I'd have been able to if I hadn't worked the rotten job, and I'd have learned a lot, too, that I'd be able to put on a resume.

I don't think I could do something I hated for long, so I would think about the length of time I could devote to it. If I felt I couldn't be fair to my employer and that if he had to go to some length to train me and I might quit on him, I couldn't rightly take the job and do that to him. If he didn't mind my defection, I'd give it a try. But if it was the only job I could get and I HAD to have a job at any price, I'd take it but with the above restrictions. If I could find another lower paying job, I'd rather make the adjustments to my living arangements and be happier doing something else.

Nope..unless I was in debt and simply needed the money. Then I would deal with it until I was current with my accounts and would find a new job.
