I took a job out of college as a District Sales Manager for a multi-billion dollar corporation for about $48K.  2 years into the job, I was making about $63K at 23 years old, but the job environment / expectations were inhumane.  &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;I quit that job before formally landing the next one (things are well in the works), but I have absolutely no regrets.  &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;I truly believe in doing whatever makes you feel happy, and the money should come second.  They could have tripled my pay and I still would have left.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1506705058971997416/2245684421282700115/comments/default/7753656648119161087'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1506705058971997416/2245684421282700115/comments/default/7753656648119161087'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://3gen.experience.com/2008/05/can-pay-cut-ever-pay-off.html?showComment=1212960360000#c7753656648119161087' title=''/><author><name>Mark</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://3gen.experience.com/2008/05/can-pay-cut-ever-pay-off.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1506705058971997416.post-2245684421282700115' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1506705058971997416/posts/default/2245684421282700115' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1506705058971997416.post-5135024822957208424</id><published>2008-06-05T08:48:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2008-06-05T08:48:00.000-04:00</updated><title type='text'>I landed a big 'important' job with a consulting f...</title><content type='html'>I landed a big 'important' job with a consulting firm out of college. I was making an AMAZING amount of money. Not many 23-year-olds make $55k+. But, I hated being a consultant. I missed my college field (journalism/media). So... I quit! It was liberating! And I took a job making $15k less. And I couldn't be happier. I have more responsibility, more room to grow, and I'm *happy*. People should do what makes them feel fulfilled, and not limit themselves with 'rules'.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1506705058971997416/2245684421282700115/comments/default/5135024822957208424'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1506705058971997416/2245684421282700115/comments/default/5135024822957208424'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://3gen.experience.com/2008/05/can-pay-cut-ever-pay-off.html?showComment=1212670080000#c5135024822957208424' title=''/><author><name>Jamie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16502634098933043801</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://3gen.experience.com/2008/05/can-pay-cut-ever-pay-off.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1506705058971997416.post-2245684421282700115' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1506705058971997416/posts/default/2245684421282700115' type='text/html'/></entry></feed>
