What makes a job worthwhile: the money or the people?

Would you rather make a lot of money but hate your coworkers, or not make a lot of cash, but love your coworkers?

personally, i think its the people...i'd much rather be happy at my job and not really have a lot of cash, rather than dreading having to go in to work everyday with a bunch of douchebags

try making alot of cash, your opinion will change. work sucks and the only reason you work is to make cash. fuck the people, after a few years you will learn not to like something about every person you work with anyway. trust me on that one.

The people I know that make a ton of money are working so much that their personal life fails and they still arent happy. Granted, the bills are paid but when the wife and kids leave and alamony kicks in.You lose half, end up in a little apartment and still busting your ass just to get by.

Unless of course you like your job and your coworkers.

everyone has to put in their time...in my line of work, you start with 60-65 hour weeks in the first few years, after about 5 to 7 years that should drop to a reasonable 50 hour week if you put in quality work product during those years. At that point you are making 2 times the starting salary and working 20% less.

but i'm sure you didn't start the job to make friends, and if they stopped paying you certainly wouldn't stick around.

Well, I guess that depends on what the job entails. If the job requires you to engage in continuous group projects, then it might be hard to do your job without wanting to cut your own balls off. I'd rather read a thesis paper by australianGQ than work there.

But if the job is not team-oriented, I don't care if a room full of coonts work with me. I'll take the money. If I wanted friends, I'd go back to third grade. Money is king.

Thats your line of work. The friends Im talking about are either executives or business owners. Its non stop travel/hustle.

executives and business owners aren't the only people who do well for themselves, monetarily.

Sure, if you work at a job that doesn't require teamwork.

I couldn't stand going to work if I didn't like the people I have to work with.
