True story:
a girl I knew that worked with me
in regulatory compliance in a big corporation
she always took her vacation to go diving in the Bahamas
she left the company to go to work for a dive shop
I was so happy for her...
imagine getting paid for what you like to do!
6 months later she was looking for her old job back
her hobby job would not pay the bills
I got very jaded after that.
Like it is said...
If it wasn’t “work”, they wouldn’t have to pay you.
Yes, working at a dive shop in the Bahamas will not make you rich. You have to work harder but hey, your on a tropical island, get a second job at a cabana bar and live life until you die.

we need a cure for cancer and many other things that are not ‘fun’ - we need workers - and workers should be rewarded handsomely
