On the contrary, that's exactly what "being paid a lot of money at work" implies.
- noizejoy 5y ago“My time being valuable” can legitimately be meant in a fully subjective way. In the sense of: I would like to cram a long list of activities (including thinking about certain things) into my remaining lifetime. If that list is a lot longer than my remaining life allows for, the value of my time is arguably pretty high for me - even if it isn’t for others.
- otterley 5y agoI think both can be true!
- noizejoy 5y agoI just meant they are pretty much independent dimensions, and I interpreted your comment to mean they are highly correlated. Or did I misunderstand what you were trying to say?
- otterley 5y agoI think it depends on the frame of reference: one reflects how others value you; the other reflects how you value yourself. (And as most of us know, these are not necessarily correlated...)
