Defiantely Job that pays more if you can do it. A job that pays me more can help me enjoy other aspects of life because i will have more money ( go for nice vacation, other luxuries) and since it is paying me more definately it must be something better than the job that pays less . If we are talking about corporate world i can be very happy being a programmer because i am comfortable with it and I think IT managers job will be something i hate because of added responsibilities but I will definately grab the oppurtunity if i get the latter job. Enjoying or not enjoying a job is a state of mind and if i want to be in my comfort zone ony I will remain there forever. Also, if i d not feel my work life is not so interesting i will try to make my personal life (activities related to my personal life more interesting and a job that pays me better definately helps in doing do. Just a personal opinion.
