No way. Double my salary would make me 2% happier but working on an assembly line would make me 69% more miserable.
Doubling my salary would allow me to retire 3 or 4x as fast. So I would do it. At least for a few years.
Though I agree with some that have said that a lot of the people here don't know what they would be getting themselves into. These are usually pretty terrible jobs, unless you're driving a hi-lo or forklift or operating a knuckle boom or something. I work in a manufacturing facility, though in an office job. None of our production jobs are really that bad though aside from the temperature extremes and dust/smoke. Not like working on an assembly line, which is usually a terrible job. If I could work a production job here for double my salary you couldn't sign me up fast enough, but we don't exactly have assembly lines.

If you accept to you won't be fired or laid off as long as you do the work at the necessary pace. assume there is no opportunity for advancement, and that the company will never off shore or go out of business.
would you do it?
Lets see, for a person making 70 k a year would make 140k a year. Well yea! Consider that you can save money and retire much much sooner. Or I can work and be happy until im 65 with current salary..lol

I would love more money, but I would be bored to death on an assembly line. I have done temp work in the past as a CSR and was on the phone all day for 8 hours doing the same thing. I was bored out of my mind - I need variety. I would rather be happy doing what I want to do, because my husband would tell me when I used to come home I was so miserable, and now I am not

isn't it what our grandparents did?
double my current salary to do a relatively mundane task? Sure. I'd go home at the end of each day and live it up quite nicely.
People's jobs getting picked on all the time at this forum. Don't take it so serious. If the question would have been, " Would you quit your job and earn double your Salary working at McDonald's " I would answer the same way.
