    Yes. New opportunities, career fulfillment, giving back to society and as long as I can survive on the lower pay.

    If money is your motivation for going to work you will never be truly happy because there will come a point where the pay you receive is never enough.

    My comments above do not apply to the self-employed as they already have made their own destiny

    Well, seriously speaking, i'd take a job as a professional gamer, or game tester, even if it played, I mean payed less than I make now. A job doing something you love is way more important than breaking your back, and destroying your sanity to make a lot of money... (my opinion)

    should add another option to the poll..."depends" cause for me it really depends on the work environment. One can only stand for so much b4 them crack...I've seen it many times...so money shouldn't be the only deciding factor...should be high on the list but not the sole fact
