Yeah but that scenario is leading to you earning more money in Scenario A? Would've made more sense of Job B was what you wanted to do (e.g. Restriction of money). If Job B was £48k in Job B you might get some different answers!

The main point is that the vast majority of people don't enjoy what they do (no matter how much a financial advisor tells me he loves his job, I refuse to believe him) so you may as well earn good money doing something. Obviously don't do something that makes you miserable, but if the scenario was:

A- what you love, £40k salary
B- not what you love but don't mind too much, £70k salary


Which one you gonna choose?



See above bae xx

£120k in 10 years pretty comfortably. Don't need your measly £25k baker salary hehe

Don't need money to travel when you get paid to travel

Who do you work for? Myself and blogs don't count.

In that situation it's obvious, but imagine if the £70k job was something you hated doing and it was having an effect on your personal life. That £40k job would suddenly look very appealling.

There's a bloke in my department who used to work for Deloitte, but he absolutely hated it and he's now working in a fairly entry level position. Our job isn't even close to what he was doing there. Idk what the salaries are at Deloitte, but they'll be a fair bit more than what we're earning.

The way I see it, I want to wake up every morning and look forward to going to work.
I agree that a good wage is important but I can think of no life worse than one where you struggle to get up every day and go to work.

I'd take £25k over £40k if the former was a job I loved and the latter was a job I hated.

Yeah but there's not many jobs most people "love", unless they're a centre forward for Real Madrid. I guess I'm speaking personally, but I enjoy pretty much no work and I'm happy to be a mercenary in the employment world.

Btw, 10 years post-qual dentists working in a private branch will easily earn over £100,000, especially in London.

You won't be 10 years post-qual in 10 years though will you pal, you've still got another 8 years of uni

I'll be 7 years post qual at 30 and he said early 30's (aka 32-33) which is what I was factoring it on

In 10 years you'll still be displaying nonce behaviours around high schools anyway

Pro clubs @ 4?

Money is the #1 factor tbh

You'll probably eventually hate your job, whatever it is. Just have to make the best of it.

o rly: "£120k in 10 years pretty comfortably"

not sheriff srs. Will probs be awake though so can do lel

I agree. Did you have a career in mind or did you just go with the flow?

For anyone that cares, I passed 2nd year today. Well, yesterday.


Was just fishing for a reaction tbh

Of course I wasn't serious, what the **** is wrong with you
