Sometimes you genuinely enjoy doing something, and would do it for free if you had a way to pay the bills. I had a job like that for a few years, and it was nice. Didn't matter to me how much my boss made or who owned what. I was having fun.
Most jobs aren't like that, though, and no matter how much you love something you eventually get tired of it.
- kristopolous 10y agoYou could've been your own boss or negotiated for more. People are more careful with expensive things and treat them better. You aren't working at the leisurely indiscretion of the company. You become a more efficient, effective, objective, focused and self-directed employee when you focus on and realize your cost/value proposition. Of course if you were working for a foundation or charity then sure... This doesn't apply.
- gozur88 10y agoOh, none of that was really doable at the time. It was a DoD contracting job, and the way they structure the contracts you pretty much either accept what they give you or you leave. Which I eventually did. But for a few years it was great.
