Forums - General - 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'm in school so I won't be getting any jobs any time soon, but I'd be at around 40-50%
I'd have to at least like what I'm doing, and I would only want to work with other people, or at least around other people. I hate working alone :/



60-70%.



 

 

 

I would probably go insane if I had a job I hated for a long time even if I made a million a month. 30-40% sounds about right but if we're talking temporary jobs then I can go closer to 90-100%. It's close 0% for jobs I consider immoral though.



What's the point of having wealth without happiness?

If you made a million a month, then you wouldn't have to do that job for long to be set for life.


Oh, stop filling my head with basic intelligence. >:(



But 90-100% is some pretty serious unhappiness to have to put up with in your working life even for a couple of years

100% as I have neither morals or happiness.



Only up to the point at which the happiness gained from the wealth is less than the happiness lost from the crappy job.

It's hard to be unhappy on Jet Skis. :P

OT: I'll sacrifice some happiness, but none of my morals, so about 20-30%
