I know people who went to Google and came screaming back feeling that they had Stepford-wifed their youth away. I know other smart people working for libraries and universities for a fraction of what they could make just for the tranquility of it.
If you're young and have no responsibilities, don't get too hung-up on the money. Just go out there and try some shit. You never know what's going to be a good fit, although it's usually pretty easy to spot what's going to be a bad one.
