> while others benefit from it I get satisfaction from other people benefiting from my work. Why would I want to perform work that benefits no one or only myself? Seems selfish. I assume you meant to imply that I'm being taken advantage of in some way by my employer but that is not the case. I enjoy managing computers and programming. I don't enjoy running a business, selling things to people, dealing with insurance companies directly, or many of the other things that I don't have to do because my employer does them. Often times there are other people that enjoy those activities doing them. It's a symbiotic relationship, or at least it should be in an ideal world. It's possible for everyone to benefit even if some people benefit more financially than others.
