Is Happiness Worth A Paycut

The wages/salaries we make are important for our livelihood, but just how important?

• Have you worked a job where the pay, benefits, location, etc., were terrific, but you just were not happy? On the other hand, have you worked a job where the pay, benefits, location, etc., were not so hot, but you were still happy? (If these situations do not apply to you, does one or both describe something someone you know has experienced?)
• Is there a job or career you would never pursue regardless of the pay offered to you? If so, what job and why?
• Should employee happiness be one of the compensable factors employers should look at in their job evaluation process when determining the pay for a position? Why or why not?
