What would satisfy you more - more money at a job or more satisfaction at workplace?

How do you measure satisfaction at work, by the money you make or the satisfaction you get at your work? What matters to you more and why? Thanks!

What would satisfy you more - more money at a job or more satisfaction at workplace?
Satisfaction - I would rather got to a lower pay job I love than a good paying job I hate. Being happy also lowers your sickness rate so it means less time at the doctors office and less time on medication.
Reply:Sure a balance would be great but to answer the question... which would I rather have, I rather have a job I loved vices a job that I didn't love and paid a lot. We all hope to find a job that we love that pays great.


I have had jobs that paid great but I didn't enjoy them and in the long run I ended up hating the job and hated going to work, finding reasons to call out... can't make great money if you aren't at work.
Reply:I would say a balance of things. I wouldn't emphasize one just one point only. A good balance between the 2 is good.


Ideally, good money and a great work environment. But in life, you don't get what you want. So if i am given a choice, i would choose the balance between an acceptable salary and work atmosphere.


Too much money with in a miserable work environment makes a person unhappy, and a good environment with very little money is not going to let the person enjoy social life outside of work.
Reply:By Satisfaction do you mean, appreciation from peers and superiors or self satisfaction by what you are actually achieving?


I am for both of the above.... Money is a perk from achieving your personal goals.


Although if found in a predicament in life, which can happen easily, money does do the talking- and your human spirit kicks in - hopefully people in this place will "bloom where they are planted"


I basically answered on several levels - Sorry!
