I would advise following one's interests.
-
Mix the two, add ability, sprinkle in opportunity, stir, and reep the rewards.
-
Interest; you really don't want to put a lot of time and energy into an education or on-the-job experience to find yourself miserable, bored, unfulfilled, starting all over again 10 years later, or all the above.

interest...pay check will gradually come once you become an expert in that field (which means doing what you really love to do)-advice from my dad
-
If no one else depends on your income, then the choice is yours. If you have a family or dependents, then I think the paycheck has to be the first priority and interests second.
-
Both. And the opportunities for growth too play an important role.
-
It's a combination...having worked in a couple of places that I really hated it destroys you and however much you are paid does not make up for the suffering you go through.

i am too old to choose a career. i aim for the paycheck, but it has to be something i like doing.

a balance of both... i want to start a music career now that i lost my truck and installer/subcontractor position. its what i moved back to California to do but the specific school that i want to attend is like 70 grand for a 2 year program and i am not willing to put that much into a semi-stable job... i think i will be able to make the networking connections i need to make in order to do this on my own but i can't get off answerbag long enough to write another song... + i need inspiration first
