Answer 1

girl she probably lieing about that 120,000 job if she liked it so much why she's not working no more. especially if she has a morgage to pay. she is probably jelous about your job and beside a friend is suppose to give you support on what you do especially if you doing a positive thing. if you love your job and your happy and not being stress out you would not mine working there because it's better to have a peace of mine than going crazy in a so call good paying job girl stay in the job your happy just work around your budget and that will come easy to you cause u like your job believe me i was in that situation good paying job miserable, stress out, worry, crying the money was not worth it now i have a less paying job and i am a happy camper and i budget my money great. so don't worry be happy.

Answer 2

If you take a job that pays well, and you hate it, you should save your money because that job won't last long. If you take a job that you love and the money isn't that great, you should plan a budget and begin to buy the things you want in life, because that job will be around forever. It will allow you to purchase the things in life you need to finance. Eventually the pay might go up, but it doesn't matter. A life of a stress free work environment is cheaper than paying the therapists and Dr's for their advice. Good luck

Answer 3

Most people want to enjoy what they do, since you spend most of your day at work. As long as you're okay with the fact that you might not have as much materially as your friend, then I wouldn't worry about it. Besides your job might have some intrinsic benefits that hers might not (i.e. you get to help people, better work environment, you get to do what you love, etc.)

Answer 4

Hate your job and you hate your life. If you're happy with your life, then you're doing the right thing. If your friend doesn't like your values, then maybe she find some people as materialistic as herself to hang around with.
