I get to go for language testing for a design monkey job. This is good. This means my craptacular portfolio passed muster.

Still waiting to hear back about Jobs A and B. I'm not holding my breath about Job A, and Job B on the other hand – I'm glad I operate well with lack of oxygen.

Would you take more money for a good job, or less money with less promotion potential for a great job?

It depends on what you want. I prefer working with people rather than managing them, but getting that 'right' team dynamic is hard to find. So if the job and people are good as long as my salary can cover my lifestyle, I'd take the more interesting one.

My issue is that post-university my salary level rose quickly and so did my lifestyle expectations along with it. As a result there are some types of jobs which I'd love to do, but just can't rationalize a downgrade on the pay scale to take them. Stupid money making the world go round....I think we should become Amish!

Tell me about it!

My friend basically offered me a job a couple months back where Josh is working now to run the billing department, and while I would have been all over it 2 years ago without a second thought, and it's got to be more fulfilling than my current job, I just couldn't fathom the drop in pay.

Maybe we can ask some of those dirty hippies about how to set up a commune?
