If you loved your job very much -- that is, enjoyed the job itself, the people you worked with, etc -- and it was very close to your home, but you didn't make quite as much money as you'd hoped, would you stick it out and wait to get a good raise, but find a part-time job in the meantime to make extra money, or would you quit to try to find a higher-paying job?

I work less than 5 miles from where I work, so I spend very little on gas each week, I can get to work in less than 10 minutes each day,and spend less on maintenance for my car at the same time. I absolutely love my job and the people I work with. Sound like the perfect job? It's not because it doesn't pay enough!

I know I have a couple promotions planned in the next few months, but I am not sure I will be making enough even after those promotions. Problem is that, while I have a great deal of experience in many fields, I have no degree. I am trying to stick it out for at least a few months to see if two raises improve anything, and I have gotten a PT job in the meantime, but what would YOU do in this situation?

Quoting from [sunson]:

I think if you have an offer of a better paying job then you should consider it seriously and study all the pros and cons in detail after that if you decide it is suitable for you you should take it coz after all life does not offer many good opportunities and this might be one of those rare ones you shouldn't miss. also good opportunities deserve making some sacrifices.

Good Luck

If i love the job i am interested in ,i will stick it out and try to get more  experience  and good  raise . I am assure that if the  company i work in get larger and  larger ,the boss will  pay  employee much  more  money .

Never  give  up !!!!!!!!!

Good suggestion for me cause I have similar situation with the author(sunson).

The difference is he drives to work but I have a ten minutes walk to our office every day

It seems that many friends here face the same problem.

I work in a nice factory. It is a little far away from my home but the boss allow me shorter office time and solve my lunch problem with his friend's help. However, every time when others ask how do I go to work or how much I earn every month or how big the factory is, I feel embarrassed. 

 Here is "small" towns (compared with shenzhen and guangzhou), seldom people go to work by bus. Usually, they drive motorbikes. I don't like motorbike---- it is unsafe, expensive (gas), save not too much time. So every day except Sunday, I walk about 15 mins to a station, take a bus (spend 20mins), walk 2 mins to the factory. No rush, my office time start at 9am. Even if I am a few minutes late, my boss will forgive me.

I am happy here for not too much pressure and simple interpersonal relationship. But my salary is too ... My mon said a cleaner might earn more than me. That's hateful. But I believe that things will be much better as time goes on. So I will stay here.

yes; i support you;  because your job is as same as mine; even my salary is less than many people but i fell funny and happy when i work; every day i can study many new thing;  so good luck

Yeah, it's good luck  that you can have a stable jod between the economic crisis .so many people cann't choose their  lifestyle . They will have to work long time to get less money .I have the same predicament at this time.

I have no high diploma, no experiment, bad eloquence, i cann't look for a better job ,only work  as a sales coordinator in a small factory . I must work six days and need to slove the  eating and housing problems by myself. We should study the gratefulness and satisfaction !

Don't give up ! I say to me every time!

Good luck to everybody!
