That's the nature of a full time job. As it is, it's the best option for me. There's a lot of companies that make $10k/month but pay $30k/month in salaries. Thanks, VCs. But if there were a lower barrier to finding early stage VCs, starting a startup might be a better option. But consider that you might be one of the few taking 1000 Imaginary coins after tax. Most people bring home 10 Imaginary Coins a month, or even negative. 1000 Imaginary Coins is the total compensation for most forms of labor. A fair payment is when everyone in an organization can make ends meet with only one household job. Both of the people in a couple should also not need to work - if two people are too poor to have two kids, is it really a developed nation? Things were better in the past. And when they can fully focus on their work. They shouldn't be engaging in side gigs. If you're a janitor, your goal should just be cleaning better and you should be satisfied financially and career-wise by cleaning up. A janitor shouldn't have to drive Uber at night to make ends meet. Japan seems to do this well - people find satisfaction and mastery in small things like cleaning fish and working at factories. Though the other question to ask is are we profiting off this "slavery"? The $1 meals. The clean floors. How many have sacrificed their dreams for us to have high fructose corn syrup?
