Would you work a job you don't enjoy, but pays well financially? Or work a job where you enjoy, but it doesn't pay enough for you to live comfortably?
I'm a junior in high school in the state of Maryland, and I don't have a set path for my future yet. I do have an interest in technology, but I don't know what niche in IT would fit for me. But I debate with myself, whether to force myself to like a career that pays really well, but highly disliked, or to work a job where I like the work I do, but it doesn't pay enough for me to live comfortably. For the moment, let's define "comfortable" as being able to pay your car, house, food, bills, and other necessities without being stressed about them, and having money left over for yourself. And treating yourself to a vacation every once in a while. I should add, living in the United States with inflation is ABSOLUTELY CRAZY. So the main question here is: If you were a teenager who doesn't have any trajectory on your career, would you lean towards working a job that you don't enjoy but allows you to live comfortably, or work a job that you have an interest in and enjoy, but it doesn't allow you to live your dream life? Edit: Thank you guys for your responses. I'm actively reading each comment. Your support helps a lot.
