Of course not everything is about money and just going after the big bucks is likely going to end in dissatisfaction. You should always chase a career that you feel you want to do for the rest of your life and that will fulfil the things you feel are important in life. A lot of these careers may pay high but they require a lot of long hours, hard work and are not walks in the park! But should a career / job be easy?

What job did you or are you hoping to start with?
