yay! you're bloggging more again! missed reading your posts.
anyways, is the step down in paycheck a big step? i would love to say go for passion, but no moolah can be pretty tough.
well, wishing you all the best! :)
agree. depends on how big the jump is. if you can still survive but maybe have to cut down on shopping and drinking just a bit, i'd say go for it. you'll be so much happier :)
aye.. i agree with the other two.. but i think working in a job you REALLY like brings intangible benefits - fall sick less = see less doc, need less retail therapy so don't need so much $$ and a pay cut wouldn't feel so painful. and think of how much more radiant u'd look - less facials.
But seriously. Doing something you enjoy is much better than dragging your feet to work everyday.
Ahem!
[Raise hand]
Ahem!
Pay cut? Check.
Title change? Check.
just wanted to add something else
as the saying goes "find a job you love and you'll feel like you've never worked a day your life"
but of course like i mentioned above, being practical (money) is also a factor to think about. but i totally agree with what sarah says, the whole intangible benefits thingy.
i think you know what i'm going to say.
these are from this month i-D:
1. work as if you don't need the money.
2. love as if you've not been hurt before.
3. dance as if not one is watching.
you portrait (#34) is out.

sabbie: heh, been busy helping the bf with the model last week hence the non blogging status but things are bk on track now :).
to all: yeah, i would like to believe in working for passion too. i haven't taken that scary leap yet but we'll see how things go. terz, yes, that was a big (but brave) leap you took from corporate to arts. inspiring in some way.
tony: work as if you don't need the money. funny, i really like that line. i would really love to believe truly in it but the practical bitch in me tells me i work for money and i love with caution. but i can definitely do the last bit, dance as if no one is watching.
