Politics, movies, game development, fashion: it's simple heartless supply and demand. If the intrinsic motivation across your labor supply is higher than average, there's going to be downward pressure on all the other facets of the job (pay, work environment, etc). The really tragic twist is that for many of these, they only need to hint at the person's dream instead of actually fulfilling it. So they get a few years to chew up starry eyed 22 year old interns and spit out jaded 26 year olds, just in time to pick up the next generation. Growing up in LA, I saw a fair few of these for Hollywood among my friends. They tend to aimlessly drift towards law and real estate in LA
