Happiness/Morals vs Wealth

When looking for a job, to what extent are you willing to sacrifice your morals / happiness in order to achieve wealth? 

0-100%; 0% being I can only do jobs that I'm extremely happy working in, and I don't care how much money I make at all, 100% being I will do any job in the world no matter how horrible/evil so long as I get paid enough to do it.

Personally, I would place myself near the middle but closer to around 60% probably. How about you guys? :)

I am around a 20-30%. Honestly I will work a job I am not 100% happy with but will never sacrifice my morals. You could pay me a fortune and I would not do the job unless I enjoyed it and it met up with my moral standards.

The closest I would come to compromising my morals in a place of employment would be a politician. As a politician I couldn't possibly impose my beliefs on others. This fact would mean from time to time I would have to sit back and let the political system work. I am for the separation of church and state and as a politician I would not seek to impose my morality on the populace unless it served the populous best interest and had the support of the people.

I have worked a job I hated and honesty as long as I have a choice I will not return to working another job that drives me nuts. I would much rather live a low income below poverty level life happy in what I do and with my morality intact then be a wealthy sell out.
