The higher I climb the corporate ladder, the higher my salary goes. This is all well and good, but the expectations and stress climb with it too. I like working and applying my brain to solving problems, but I sometimes pine for a job that pays little and expects little. I can’t afford to make that change now and there is a good chance I wouldn’t actually enjoy bagging groceries at the store again, but it’s nice to dream about every now and then.
- cameronbrown 7y agoThere is no job where you're paid little and expected little of. You'll just be paid little and you'll do some "low value" physical labour instead.
- archeantus 7y agoRight now the leading candidate on my list is to be a school bus driver. The responsibility is not trivial, but the work doesn’t seem too bad :)

- rconti 7y agoSure you can. You can afford it more easily than the folks who are currently in those jobs, in fact.
