- ALittleLight 8y agoOn the flip side there are probably peasants in rural East Asia who labor in extremely challenging conditions and make a fraction of what you do. If they understood that your job was to (probably) sit in an air conditioned room tapping keys and talking to people for a few hours a day for significant wealth they might feel what you feel.
- joejerryronnie 8y agoYeah, it’s all relative. No matter how bad your situation is or how successful you become, some people will always have it better than you and some people will always have it worse than you. So there’s no sense in beating yourself up over where you “should be” in life. Just do your best to improve and grow according to your values and priorities.
- budadre75 8y agoI don't really like this comparison to peasants, they can be happy and healthy for doing what they do, but office jobs are just depressing and unhealthy in comparison.
- ALittleLight 8y agoAny office worker who feels this way should immediately start his own rice paddy.
- ldonley 8y agoI don't know if starting a rice farm is a feasible way to pay off student loans or mortgages for most people.
- SmellyGeekBoy 8y agoIf you feel sad that some people out there make more money than you you really should reevaluate your priorities in life.
- budadre75 8y agomoney is one thing, but the effort put into is another, I've been doing engineering jobs, and I've put lots of efforts from education to actual job. This whole chain of efforts is just to have a life; money is necessary for a life, which a hard-earned one for me. I can say it's been difficult along my path of life personal or professional, that's why youtuber earnings shake me emotionally.
