When someone tells me "think of all you can learn!" When trying to sell me on a project / job I always say, "as long as it comes with an ever growing pay check"

When someone tells me "think of all you can learn!" When trying to sell me on a project / job I always say, "as long as it comes with an ever growing pay check" To me it's just a way "the man" tries to keep us underpaid. Interesting work or experience is not a substitute for money. In truth, the more learning required, the more stress (typically) and thus, the more money I'd like for my services.
