I'm 21 Diploma holder, I work at a job that pays me 2,100 which is pretty good, but I detest. The career I want will mean a pay cut of $300, how can I balance interest and income practicality?

you should aim to climb up in your career at that age. You wouldnt be making this salary for the next 30-40 years of your working life. If you like the new career and you are good at it, making up the $300 should be relatively easy and potentially the upside is larger

My personal view is nevee take a pay cut when moving jobs because it takes a long time to climb up again.

on The flip side

since you are young with little or no commitments I would say why not ? take a leap of faith and if it doesn’t work out find another job.
