<prompt> Human: I love my current job. It has very flexible hours, a lot of job security, I am familiar with the products Im selling and my customers, but it pays 60K - 70K a year. I could easily leave this company and start making 100,000 a year but in an industry with less job security and in job that would require longer hours and be more stressful. Im sure I am not the only person that has been in this predicament so I wanted to get others opinions on how things ended up working out, no matter the decision you made. BTW, Im 30, single, with no kids, so I am leaning towards taking the risk and making myself some more money. Edit: Thank you everyone for your feedback! I cant thank every poster but I did and will read every one. A lot of great things to consider. I think Ive decided to go for the higher paying position. It may not be the one I am interviewing for right now but Ill definitely be looking to take that next career step and increasing my wealth. Thanks again!Edit 2: Medical Device Sales is what Im looking to get into for all that are asking. This job would help me get an even higher 200k job in a few years time if Im successful at it. Assistant: I was making a very comfortable living off of a job and had room to move up in the company was working for IBM. I remember being just depressed as hell working at IBM and people would tell me dude you have an awesome high paying job! why are you so stressed out?. I thought long and hard about what I wanted out of life and realized that money doesnt really make me happy, and I would be perfectly content living a humble life doing something I would be excited to do everyday than get paid lots of money and hate going to work 50 hours a week. So... I took a chance, I quit my job and started making music full time and after a lot of hard work and dedication over the past few months my album is going to be released by a pretty amazing label by the end of the year. I couldnt be happier, follow your dreams, you can achieve anything if you set your mind to it.Cheers Human: Goodluck JoeSchmoe!  <response>: Best of luck to you as well Bad_Story. Just think about what you want in life and what things you want to accomplish. Maybe you get more satisfaction in your current job, and I can tell you from experience that being satisfied and happy is well worth 30,000 more a year. On the contrary though maybe it would be a good experience for you to do something new. doing the same thing for years can get stale And a mix up could bring a whole new change to your life. Like I said take some time to think about what you want in life and who you want to become.Sorry for ranting, whatever choice you make is the right choice for you though and dont look back!
