$15/hr job you absolutely LOVE vs $100/hr job you absolutely HATE

[johnm is...]

One of the worst feelings in the world waking up in the morning to go to a job you hate. If it pays my bills alright, then I'd take a job I love for considerably less money.

For $85 less an hour? I find that hard to believe.

Most of us work jobs we hate for little money anyway, so it not hard to believe most would choose the $100 hate option in real life

real words.

if you work 40 hours a week $100 an hour is 200 K + a year. that's more than some doctors make...

a check for four grand every week?
sh#t...

if you really can't stand the work you can just put your head down for 10 years and easily bank a million. then you do something else.


i'd do almost anything for that amount of money right now, especially with a down housing market.

you could buy a starter home/condo every year in cash in certain areas, and rent it in a market where rents are sky high.


in 10 years you'd be unbelievably wealthy. if the housing market rebounded so would your kids and their grandkids.

I understand the premise of the thread, but somebody making $100 hour will most likely be highly educated and/or skilled. If they do happen to hate their current career they probably have options to find a another good paying job that they hate a little less.

I'm broke, and hate my job. Winner winner, chicken dinner.
