Comment on Hypothetical Question: If someone was paying you a smaller amount of money than what you would deem worth it to do something you're passionate about, would that have an effect on the quality of the finished product? by Trinity-Fate

I would argue it depends entirely on the circumstances.

If it's a job that you really and truly enjoy but it has a lower pay grade then to many it doesn't really matter.
Being able to do what you love for a job is something that many people wish they could do and being able to do that for a slightly lower pay for many people is fine compared to doing a job you dislike for a much higher pay.

At the same time if it's something which traditionally has a higher pay than what you are getting and they offer you a lower amount of cash then it might be different.  Due to the lower amount you might ask for something in return or for a certain amount leeway or what have you, if not that then you can probably cut corners.
