> find an easy, comfortable, well paying job and fill the rest of your life with things that actually matter. I think that's kind of what the article was about: raising your career status high enough so that you can get one of those nice jobs. You can't just pick a $320k job off of the job tree, that's almost 5 times the median household income. Without having marketability, the task of finding an easy, comfortable, and well paying job is advice akin to "just win the lottery, that'll cover your expenses."
