I found out that my dream job's salary is between $24,000 - $35,000 and I'm not sure if that's a bad salary. By bad I mean should I find a better paying job?

Nothing is bad, this is a good start for you. I want to make 10 times of this, dont you? Think and spend wisely. Make sure that you save some out of it which will make money eventually.
No matter whether can you live with it or not always aim for 10 times of this. Even if you can double this you will live the most happy life. Good luck

Funny u asked. I just got offered a dream job in that range (on the higher end thank God). Sometimes we have to ask ourselves what is most important money or doing a job you are passionate about using your God given gifts and talents. Many people with high paying jobs have taken jobs making much less but had a happier life that was invaluable. Work should not feel like a chore that u drag urself into and can't wait til the weekend. I just read a book called "48 days to the Work you Love" so this has helped solidify my philosophy on work. Do what u love and have faith God will bring the wealth some how. If u have already bought a car and house on a 60k budget thats a different story lol

It really depends on what part of the country you live in and what the cost of living is there. Where I live it's not too bad but by government standards it is poverty level! I guess it all depends on what your acustomed to and what you want out of life or...how materialistic you are or...if it's more important to have a job you love for less money or one you hate for more money! It also matters whether you're married and have 2 incomes or single with no children. There are lots of "ifs". Good luck!

It really depends on where you live. The cost of living pretty much dictates if that's good or bad. Can you afford to live on that?
Having a job you like is sometimes a whole lot more important than the money.

A goog guide is to earn your age in thousands. This is in British Sterling mind you. So $24000 is about £12000, and $35000 is about £17000. Thus, if you're between 12 and 17 years of age, you're doing fine.

Depends on where you live. In San Franciso, that won't even pay your rent; but in Omaha it might be workable.
It's definitely modest - you won't be a millionaire or upper-class, but you can get by as long as you stay out of debt.

The high end is not bad if there are two incomes. But that is really hard to live on depending on where you live.

I guess it depends on your career. There is nothing wrong with making this income especially if you are justing starting.
Good luck.
