[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well you're probably doing really interesting, satisfying, meaningful work, right?

A lot of jobs that pay more - finance, BigLaw, accounting, certain types of tech like coding, etc. etc. are boring AF.

Sure you make more but is it really worth it? I'd rather enjoy what I do all day for 8-10 hours then be alternately bored and stressed.[/quote]

This is so true.  Currently at a law firm making $400k with great benefits.  Seriously considering an offer for a non-profit at $190k with no benefits.  On the one hand, it seems nuts to walk away from $400k/year.  On the other hand, I'm simultaneously bored and stressed.  [/quote]

You guys crack me up. So you think all of us not making big bucks have super meaningful jobs that are so satisfying? And that's why the jobs are not paying much?
You think your 400K job is too stressful to be worth it, then come and try a stressful 80k job. And your option for a 190k with no benefits is not really low paying. So take it if you like the job. You're still making good money.[/quote]
