My decision would be based on the likelihood of taking over the family business or getting in a position to be promoted as time goes.... If you are going to be stuck at 60k for forever I would jump ship... But if in 5 years you will be making 6 figures or more than 60k I would just suffer through it and enjoy the "comfortable" aspect that it brings.

Place value on other aspects of the job besides pay. I am 30 years old, single, hardly ever work 50 hours a week, and make over six figures and would gladly sacrifice some of that pay to have a family at home.

I was sort of in your position. I put off having a family and making decent bank to go to school and go into debt up to my eyeballs. I made no $$ for 4 yrs, aside from summer jobs. If I had to do it all over again, I'd do the exact same thing. What's a few yrs compared to the rest of your life. The friends I had who decided to get plant jobs out of school are all still working plant jobs and making good money, but no way would I want to trade places with them.
