(+) Yeah! (+)

So in that sense, if you're making $30k but the cost for happiness is 10k, you're grossing 20k a year.

Let's say you're making 100k but your your cost of happiness is at 80k, you're still grossing the same 20k, but you're working longer hours.

The latter is similar to the corporate lifestyle of America, and the former is like my beach bum days where I would stare at the ocean for hours and get paid $8 an hour working at a Gamestop.

I feel like taking that $8 and working at Gamestop while having the flexibility to stare at the ocean all day is worth much more than getting paid 100k and not having much autonomy. For that disagree with me, I reckon you're just jealous. Hmph.

That's why I'm a prostitute

I've considered being a male gigolo, but nagging customers would ultimately stress me out and thus increasing the cost of my happiness.

I didn't say I was a male gigolo, I said I was a hoor.

Theres definitely value in doing something you enjoy, but that doesnt mean that you can only enjoy jobs with low wages. I like my job a lot and the pay is great.

Ugh, I forgot about the high wage jobs that make people happy. Remind me, what are those again?

What makes people happy is different for everybody. I teach, which I love but recognise that many people wouldnt. Its allowed me to become part of the top 1% of earners in the country I do it in, and very comfortably so. Theres a lot of people out there doing it for significantly less though, and I did for several years.

Ive a few friends in different lines of work who love their jobs and are making good money though. Their jobs include being a sports coach, editing a newspaper, running nightclubs and working in publishing.
