Posts: General / $600 monthly cut in pay, for a job you love?

Pretend [if needed] that you dread being at your current job and are offered a supervisor position doing what you love to do... Buuut you have to take a cut in pay of about $600 monthly.

*Also, that cut and pay won't affect your comfortable living status - bills will still be covered, money saved and you can entertain yourself.*

Would you take that job?

That's how I see it. My parents were very "eeeh, we wouldn't" so now I'm second guessing myself.

I say do it. If it isnt going to put a damper on you financially, I dont see why not.

In a heartbeat.

I'd be dumping the current day job - was finally offered a managerial position at Barnes & Noble but with a different store closer to home. Store manager said it's the best opportunity to later training into running "my own" store. It's the route she took, anyways.

Do it!

Depends.


If this low-paying job will allow you to work your way up to somewhere you want to be, then yes, absolutely 100% go for it.

If you think however that your current job will open more doors down the line - and might eventually land you somewhere you want to be in the long run, then stay the course.
