A career for finances versus a career for fulfillment. This is always an interesting topic. The Ramsey Show covers this topic in a short three-and-a-half-minute video and I think they absolutely hit the nail on the head. The answer is almost always fulfillment, but you have to adjust your spending and lifestyle to match it.
