For me, I'm not quite ready to give up on the dream having a job that I actually enjoy. I'm still young, so effort I put into my career now will pay dividends for the rest of my life. Giving up the most productive hours of my day to a company is a big deal, and I'd at least like the job to be intellectually stimulating, if not financially rewarding. At this stage in my life, showing up at work just for the paychecks seems like giving up on a brighter future.
