You'll never achieve real success unless you like what you're doing. No one has ever succeeded in a line of endeavour which they did not like. Your chances of success are directly proportional to the degree of pleasure you derive from what you do. If you're in a job you hate, face the fact squarely and get out.
It's better to be a failure in something you love, than attempting to be a success in something you don't. Don't set compensation as a goal.
Find the work you love, and the compensation will follow. The more you love what you are doing, the more successful it will be for you.
