Another lecture about how money can't make up for a good work environment where people can be proud of what they do. Problem with these articles is that money and a fulfilling job aren't mutually exclusive as it's being portrayed. It's not black and white. How about trying to make people happy and giving them enough money that they invest themselves and take responsibility to maintain and even improve the status quo?

  No doubt, I always feel like I am being feed an agenda with how many times this subject comes up. It surreal, almost like some paid think tank is spitting out studies to make the masses think that they don't need to be paid gobs of money for skills that most people don't have. I will take the high pay and job satisfaction please, because the two are not mutuality exclusive.
