well, a coworker quit on friday, and as tomorrow nears,i have a feeling that myself and another coworker will be asked to apply for the newly open position. currently i make 24,000 a year doing writing, shiping, receiving and mail outs. i am basically only accountable to myslef, have a super easy job, and i leave my work at work, leaving my evenings free to pursure my own creative writing ventures.
the new postion pays 27,000 a years (170/ month after taxes more than i clear now). there is a ton of responcibility, accountability, traveling, deadlines etc. and a boss that i currently am under now, but who's input on my job is saying hello once a day.
i'm just wondering... would you comprimise happiness and freedom just to make a little bit more money? sure i could use the extra, but i am not struggling so much that i would be willing to take a job i would potentially hate, to leave behind an easy job that i like.
my main focus is writing, which i do as a small part of my current job. they are talking about getting their own small writing department in the next couple of years, and that is the direction i am hoping to go.
what would you guys do if you were offered a more "prestigiuos job for more money that you would likely not enjoy nearly as much?

Perhaps for more money. but that seems like a small increase for the added stress. Sometimes personal fulfillment outweighs increased pay, IMO.
