Does finding the right job matter? A job is a job right? Do you really even have to like the job? As long as the money pays that is all it matters right?

NOOOoooo. Wrong. You need to find a job you would do even if they didn't pay you. I came SO close to never working with computers it's not funny. I like working with computers the way some people like working puzzles.
Some people are outgoing and have to work with people. Some are fact minded and have to work with fixed information, such as law. Some people like to work physically.
I could have been an accountant or an art teacher and I would have hated every long day I worked. Now, my workdays go by without any sense of time at all. And have done so for 20 years so far.
I would recommend everyone to expose themselves to as many subjects as you can, or get career testing. You never know what you might be missing.

Money matters most. But even tho I make good money I really hate my job and it's sometimes all I can do to keep from beating the living s**t outta' some one. You have to be able to deal with all manner evil, corruption, incompetence, office politics, and all the other negative things that come from working at a job that you and everyone else there hates if you can't live with-out the money.
It's much better to find a job you like that pays well. And don't be afraid of what ppl will say/think about you if you quit 4 jobs in a year if you don't like it. They don't have to suffer for it but you will if you don't go for what you really want..

Yes a good GPA does matter in this job hunting market, along with a degree from an Accredited School. The more you can set yourself above the other applicants, the better your chances of getting that interview and job, your personality will be the other part. You mentioned an AA. I would recommend you sticking it out and get the BA. However if you plan on staying in the Library field, you might need the MA in Library Sciences. You could also look at supplementing your part time income through freelance writing, or other areas that allow you to use your English/Communications skills. Persistence pays off, so believe in yourself.

i have had jobs that i hate going to in the morning and i've had jobs that i look very forward going to....
i've had jobs that pay well and jobs that don't pay that well.
i, personally, prefer a job that makes me happy. money only matters so much. i get one shot at this life and i'd rather spend it in a job that i enjoy than a job that i dread going to.
this is the truth, b/c i'm living it right now. i work at a job that doesn't pay awesome money, but i do get a decent paycheck and i actually like being there.

Finding the right job matters. A lot. maybe you can get by in a boring job for some years, but as you get older, you'll be sick and tired of it...you'll want to find a job that you can live with.

I agreed with you until I got the job I have now. I LOVE my job! It makes a huge difference in your life. I enjoy being there. It took 30 years to find my calling. But, I am very lucky that I have.

It matters that you don't really hate the job, get treated like dirt, and get paid what you are worth. If you like the job, it will be more profitable for you and the employer, since you might care what kind of effort you put into it.

It depends, some people can have any job that pays well so why not pick the one you like? Some people will pick the highest paying job but find themselves unhappy and unmotivated in it.

Well, maybe. But what if the job doesn't pay enough and you're really good at something else that pays better.
