I think part of it is that we're trying to make sense of this paradox--that we really like it, but financially it isn't so great.
What? No one told him the oldest cliche in the book, that money doesn't buy happiness? Is it a mystery that so-and-so would be happier making 40K and owning a business than another person doing inventory at WalMart for 50K?
- nkohari 19y agoYou can make 50K doing inventory at WalMart? :) (But you're exactly right, money isn't everything.)
- mattmaroon 19y agoWal-Mart's normal employees do inventory once or twice a year. They aren't paid anything extra, and most probably make half of that. They do often hire outside consultants to help, and I've no idea what those guys get paid.

- curi 19y agoThe most famous rock stars, and actors, and sports players, are paid a lot due to high demand and low supply. (Plenty of supply of willing people, but not plenty of supply of people with hundreds of thousands of fans.)
- mynameishere 19y agoIt's not a paradox. Well, that's why I quoted that passage. To point out that it's not a paradox.
