Remember that your salary isn't the only thing you should consider when thinking about a career. The most important thing is that you choose a job you're passionate about — one that builds on your interests, your skills and your natural talents. Aim to do something you're happy with in the long run, regardless of how much you make — because no amount of money can make a job more interesting or enjoyable.
