jobs suck. that's why they pay you

[twentee]

to do them. if you'd do it anyway, it's not a job, it's a hobby. I've never found or seen a thing that I'd do as a hobby that would pay a decent salary, or rather, as soon as you make it your livelihood-source, it's not fun anymore. If your job isn't letting you BANK 50k a year, you either need a much bette job, or you need to rein in your lifestyle. Cause you need to be set up to retire in a very few years. then IF you want to keep working for somebody, it's damned well going to be on YOUR terms, and you can drop it like a hot rock anytime that you want or need to do so.

Your post title is a horrible fallacy that can easily lead to an entitlement attitude.

Here's why:

The only reason you get paid is because somewhere, somehow, somebody is paying for a product you are making (assuming you aren't part of some government backed "complex.")

It's entirely possible to LOVE your job and get paid bank, because you happen to be good at something, and like doing it, that people are willing to pay for.

On the other hand, you can get paid doing something you hate, so long as somewhere along the long, you're making something somebody wants to buy.

But if you think that you get paid ONLY because it sucks, you're forgetting the basic law of free market economics.

This is what teachers, post office workers, etc, feel when they think that BECAUSE their jobs is distasteful, they SHOULD get paid a lot.

I bet it'd suck to bang your johnson against a sandpaper wrapped telephone pole all day long, but I doubt anybody would pay you.

Nah man, there's probably a niche porn market for that fetish.

I aint forgot ANYTHING about this so called "free market", bro. Count on that. Like I said, if you'd do it for free, it's not a job, it's a hobby. Lots of people get paid for their hobbies, at least somewhat. You are confusing the definition of a "job", that's all.

I came to Las Vegas over ten years ago and after college started my career as a life guard at a casino for scraps. I gritted it out and am now a corporate entity making well over 50k and I have a second job to pad my income. It's never about the job you're doing, you need that to stay alive. It's about where you would like to go and your overall desire to get there. I interviewed and didn't get a ton of jobs and though significantly fewer instances I got jobs and turned them down. There's a certian rhythm to managing a career and every one has their own measure of success.
