"the more highly compensated you are, the less likely that you will actually be able to enjoy the work you are doing."
If you take only one thing from this thread, it should be the above quote. If you need a highly intelligent, hardworking person to do something tedious and dull, how can you convince them to do it? You pay them buckets of money. Examples: programmers in finance, big law firm associates.
