Would you take a 50 percent pay cut for your dream job?

In this hypothetical you don’t have the responsibility of a wife and kids.

Maybe. 175k is still a decent amount of money.

frick no. I wouldn’t take a 20% cut for my dream job, but I also don’t hate my job.

Am I too late to be the first to confess that my dream job never included a salary cut?

$3.63 / hr is no way to live... so no.

I'd actually have more disposable income on half of my salary with no wife and kids

I just settled this debate with myself. Ended up going with yes. Wasn’t worth it to get up for the next 30 years and do something I don’t want to do. Sure the money would be great but we could all die at any moment and life is too short to not do what you want.

I did this exactly about 6 years ago to become a firefighter. Best decision I've ever made.
