Are financial reasons enough of a reason to move on to another job?

Question by mymammoth: Are financial reasons enough of a reason to go on to another job?
I been working at my current company for 2 1/2 years (-I’m a graphic designer) and was pleased when I initially started. I started here because I needed to gain experience and build my portfolio after college. I’ve done that, and I’ve found that I have bunged learning and growing. I have questioned to take classes to advance my skills but it’s “never in the budget”. I have also offered my additional skills (web design/multimedia) since I have a Single’s point in that as well, but it seems that the roles here are clearly defined. I see the other designers who have been here for several years and I don’t see any growth from the work when they initially started. I’m for sure low paid, but my managers don’t take me up on proving I have other skills to make a raise. I like the people here, and my managers are nice, but I don’t reckon they can give me a competitive salary like other companies. My financial problems really makes me want to look for another job and makes me resentful of my pay.

Financial reasons are certainly enough of a reason to switch jobs. You’re not getting what you need. There are skills you have that aren’t even being used or developed. It sounds like there is no room for growth in the company you’re in aptly now, so you’re basically stuck at a exhausted end aptly now. I would certainly go to a company that pays you what you’re worth and doesn’t limit your growth.
