Would You Tap Your Foot For $100,000 A Year?
- anigbrowl 16y agotl;dr Some entrepreneurs are in it for the money, some do things to fend off boredom. If your answer is 'no,' you are in the latter group. Sorry Tim, but this is so shallow as to be trite, and actually put me off your site a bit. I actually reloaded the page twice thinking there must be more, and was annoyed when there wasn't. The idea is good, but I think fleshing it out with an example or two of some jobs which are well-paid but fundamentally equivalent to mindlessly tapping one's foot would go a lot farther, if for no other reason than that such jobs are most susceptible to being profitably automated out of existence by some novelty-seeking entrepreneur.
- timjahn 16y agoI'm sorry that I put you off my site a bit, but I'm glad you have a strong opinion on the idea. I appreciate good discussion. My interpretation of what I was writing was the idea of how money drives some people so much that they would do anything as long as they made boatloads of money. Like tapping their foot. Or simply twisting a doorknob back and forth repeatedly. Personally, I couldn't do that. I need some sort of meaning in what I get paid to do. But I feel there are others out there that would be perfectly fine doing this, although in retrospect, I realize that may not necessarily be because they're in love with money.
