Before I moved to the technology sector, I worked in academia and earned a fraction of what I earn now. I loved doing research in my field, and now I'm moderately interested in my work. I don't hate it, but I don't wake up saying, " Man, isn't this great?" However, I would not go back to work in research for the miserable salary I was getting. If they paid the same amount I make now, maybe.
