Make money based on the job that I like doing.
 
From my own reasoning, there's no job that I will do now which I hate. I can only dislike a job when the stress is much higher than the pay.

So, once the job is stressful, but the pay is enticing, would you keep doing it or quit because of the stress that is involved?
 
You have to have a balance. The dream is to enjoy what you do but you also have to maintain income that matches your lifestyle/responsibilities.
 
How long would I have to work? If it's short term, I can handle a job I hate and get rich so I could quit as soon as possible!
 
I've worked as a professional musician for 50 years and rarely made a living from it but I wouldn't swap it for any other job.
 
If I could work at the job I hated for just a few weeks until I get super rich to be able to live comfortably I would do that. 😛 But if I couldn't live comfortably I would rather be working at a job I enjoy.

Most of the jobs that I've had in the past never stressed me to the point where I was mentally exhausted. So, in essence, I was saying that I would surely quit once the stress is unbearable even if the pay is enticing.
