You can chase what ever is pays the best that you qualify for, but at the end of the day, if it’s not something worthwhile or interesting to you, you’ll always feel unfulfilled. Unless the job pays stupid money and you can trade that in for fulfillment elsewhere. I can’t imagine trading in a printing job, to go home smelling like loud and french fries for an extra $8 a day.
Going to work at McDonalds should always be a last resort, not a bargaining tool.
