The Job

A job, for most people, has one primary purpose: source of income. We work to obtain money. Money to pay the bills, money to buy stuff, money to eat. In a slightly narrow-minded view of the world, we could say we work in order to live. Something like that.

Now when your job doesn't pay you enough money (its all relative really), you turn to its secondary purpose: satisfaction. It makes you happy. Some are really lucky to find a job they absolutely love. Not just the people they work with, but the job itself. Perhaps the work offers challenges. Or it manages to fill your interest in one specific area or whatnot.

But when your job fails to make you happy and doesn't pay you enough money, then you've got a problem right there. It just doesn't make any sense to stay. Not only are you doing yourself a disservice, but you are almost torturing yourself (masochism is now being served).

And no, logic doesn't make leaving any easier. It makes it heartless and cold, but not easier.
