I decided to work in higher education after a WILDLY successful short career in sales. I lost over 80% of my compensation annually to make that switch in the first year.
And I did it because the time off benefits, pace, and stability are much better for my mental health and well-being.
If you feel like you are compensated appropriately for what you're doing, don't worry about gaming the system. Just be happy with your life. Have you ever read The Razor's Edge by W. Somerset Maugham?

I see what you mean, but I don't think the parent commented about career success, but just specifically pay. I agree with what you're saying in that there are other valuable things besides pay from a job.
- laweijfmvo 2y agoAgree with you, but this particular article/discussion is focused on pay :)
