Question for you all...I'll give two choices below, and let me know what you'd choose. It's putting to test a debate on job satisfiers....

Job A: Dream job, high responsibility, great location but you make 25% less than what you currently make.

Job B: A horrible job, whether that's mindless, bad environment, etc.Low responsibility, but you make 50% more than you make now.

What choose you?

I would stand pat more than likely. I couldn't take a financial reducation at this time so A is out. I would consider B from a financial standpoint, at this time, but would really have to consider and work through the negatives and determine if there was a means to an end there.

Considering I make barely anything as is, A is only an option if it would lead to equal or higher pay in the near or not too distant future. I pretty much did B to come back to Orlando, minus a massive pay jump (it was more, but only by a tiny bit). Likely take door C, no change.

In the long run, more money just isn't worth the stress and strain that you'll gain in scenario B.

Yeah so I'm seriously considering quitting my job and just traveling for a few months. I have more than enough money to do this. But I won't have a job.. scary thought at 26.

You're 26, you have a degree, you don't have any kids that you know about or claim. Do it while you can. It gets much harder once you find a job you like or have kids.
