Is it crazy to accept a new job for less than you are making in your current one? I'm being offered something that's way below what I'm making now. I could probably talk him up to close to what I get now, but probably still lower. It would be a career change and lead to a totally new career path. But some people, namely my parents, think I'm out of my mind for even considering a salary that's lower than what I make. I could certainly live on making a little less and the bonuses offered can make up for much of the lower base pay.

I know it's totally based on the circumstances, but would any out there consider this?
