      Personally, this is not even close for me.

      I'm taking the job I hate, and I'm not looking back. If you have a job that pays you that well, chances are you work about 40 hours a week and get at aleast two days off.

      40 x $100 = $4,000. After taxes, you'd still take how about $3,000 a week. Maybe a little less, depending on where you get taxed, your marital situation, kids. So on and so forth.

      That's $156,000 after taxes in the year. With a job like that, you know you hav e all of your insurance lined up, all of your benefits taken care of and you make about almost eight times what the average American makes.

      Do you hate the job? Sure. Do you want to kill yourself some days? Maybe.

      You could work that job 10 years longer than you'd like. Make what you make and if you were a reasonably bright young man only spent $40,000 a year (almost twice what most people feel comfortable spending), you could have saved up a million dollars.

      Does it suck that the job is horrible? Yes. BUt after that point, you could literally do whatever you want.

      Not even close to me. Most people have a job they hate and get a few hundred bucks a week nowadays. To have a high-paying job you hate is a bonus these days.

      This is just not that

        Work is Work.

        Not to mention could you imagine the overtime bonuses that go with making $100 per hour? Checks would be massive.

          No joke a bad job can just about ruin your life, what good is all that money if your life is full of stress and sucks, and you can say all you want about the money would be enough to make you happy but when you are miserable it affects not just you but your freinds and family !

            As long as it's legal then i'll go with the $100/hour job. Life is hard, money doesn't just fall from the sky.

              Yeah right.

              I can live happily without having a lot of money.

              What good is having a lot of money when you're miserable?

              I'd rather be making $15 an hour enjoying my work, coming home to a family that loves me than working a ****ty job and coming home in a bad mood, stessed, and tired.

                $15/hour is good though. You have to be a hard worker to want a lot of money or settle for middle class.

                Air Traffic Controlling is a very stressing job but they get paid crazy.

                    I get paid $13.50 an hour but still live in the ******. It's not an astronomical amount.
