I'd personally would put job satisfaction over salary for the most
part, if only for the flipping cost of paying bills, mortgage, etc.
that brings one crashing down to Earth.

I guess that's why I flittered between jobs after about a year - year
and a half during my early part of my career.   Was never really
satisfied with doing any one thing.  Truth be told, I was the happiest
doing the job when I was being pay 8k, but towards the end it was a
question of paying the mortgage OR eating.  Couldn't really do both.
