- gnramires 4y agoI'm all for passion, but I tell my (also young) friends to beware of donating your passion to 100-billion dollar (or otherwise) companies with 50% profit margins without adequate compensation. You can use your money for causes like Effective Altruism too.
- hulitu 4y ago> We all know the answer, it's always money. Maybe for you. Most of the time there are other variables when choosing your job (EE here).
- juve1996 4y agoNot for me. For society. This isn't about individuals. People in mass choose higher paying jobs. People are not going to get into microelectronics because: pay sucks comparatively, easily outsourced, high effort, worse benefits, etc. There aren't enough "passionate" people to take advantage of to fill these roles.
- gc22browsing 4y agoThe focus on money is THE cultural meme of the 21st century. Do you ever hear of a basketball / baseball / football pro who turned down a multi-million deal? Or an actor for that matter. Nobody questions why they don't play because of their passion for their sport. In practical terms, if you want to live where the career opportunities are, you need a sizeable income just to stay in place. They (the greedy capitalists) want you to work to live. Of course, the "leaders" don't manage because of their passion. They demand ever increasing salaries.
