Would I choose a job that pays well despite the difference in careers approach? I don't know for sure. The thing is depending on which options I choose, there will always be repercussions.

@kenechukwu97 has given us a brief difference between choosing a job with good pay and choosing one that aligns with your career objectives. I must say that I agree with him when he said in The Dilemma of Job hunters

As far as the money is coming, they are okay working as an Accountant instead of practicing as a lawyer ~Something like that.

Due to the financial constraints that almost every individual is facing, we often choose a job that pays well, whether or not, it's has anything to do with the courses that we studied.

Source On the other hand, people who are objective-oriented will wait around until they get a job relating to the career they choose.

The motives behind each of the job offers we choose are different for different individuals. If you look at the point where you originate from, and it's not fine, you can take a job with good pay. Wouldn't this be selling your soul for money, though?

The upside of this decision is the reason we have lots of people who hate their jobs, yet, are forced to continue, because of the juicy paychecks.

I had this job once that I loved so much. I loved it because it was giving me the chance to work on my ability to communicate effectively orally, and through print (social media platforms). Apart from this, I was learning to work with other people, both internally and externally. I learned to make decisions that could affect the company positively in the absence of my boss.

Although I loved this job so much, the pay was low, and the stress was a bit much. I usually leave for work early and return home late. My friend didn't like this routine much, but, couldn't stop me because I was obsessed with my workplace.

I had access to good office space, I had my devices(phone, laptop, modem), internet connection, etc. I enjoyed every bit of time I spent in the office. My colleagues were fun to work with, and every day presented new opportunities for me to learn from each one of them.

If I had choices, I would have stayed longer in that job because I could see my future in it, with all the skills, training, and lessons, I was getting. I was hoping I'll learn everything and use them whenever the need arises for my benefit. My friend won. I resigned. Now, it's only but a memory.

There are other people out there who accept certain jobs only because of the training and experiences they hope to gain. They may not necessarily be working because of the money. You might discover that the places that offer training are always likely to pay their staff less than they should. I don't know if I am right, though.
