Do you know the song "Simple kind of man" by Lynyrd Skynyrd? I think your dilemma is roughly what that song is about, but I also don't think you get to choose.

Do you know the song "Simple kind of man" by Lynyrd Skynyrd? I think your dilemma is roughly what that song is about, but I also don't think you get to choose. I've had a few cushy jobs that would have set me for life with good money and work life balance, and I quit them because I was bored af and felt like I was wasting my life. I don't regret it at all, but I'm definitely "behind" lots of my peers who have been happy to settle. If you can find fulfillment in a "boring" life, do it. To some extend it's miserable always looking for more. But it's also exciting and I personally wouldn't want to "settle" and would be miserable if I did. As I say, i don't think it's really a decision, it will depend on who you are and what you prioritize.

>What are your thoughts? Another song from the 1970's comes to mind, The Pretender: Jackson Browne - Soundstage 1976 - The Pretender https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ayOOKrynixQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ayOOKrynixQ May 2021 last year: Jackson Browne "The Pretender" (Live from Home) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jf-rrgiKwCE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jf-rrgiKwCE this one with full text lyrics ending with the final verse: >I'm going to be a happy idiot >And struggle for the legal tender >Where the ads take aim and lay their claim >To the heart and the soul of the spender >And believe in whatever may lie >In those things that money can buy >Though true love could have been a contender
