I disagree. I think curiosity is the key ingredient to a successful and productive career as well as life. An inherent wanting to know separate from being paid is very important.
Of course, it’s not an obligation like everyone must. People are free to suck and no one will force them to succeed.
I think I’m just cynical from interacting with youngsters saying “they don’t pay me enough to care.” I think the caring comes first, then the pay. And you can’t pay someone enough to love a thing.
- HeyLaughingBoy 2y agommm. I'm the exact opposite. My job is interesting, valuable and often quite challenging. And if they stopped paying me, I'd stop showing up. I care because I'm paid to. Otherwise, why bother?
- prepend 2y agoOf course I don’t work for free. But I’m curious, not because they pay me. If they paid me more or less, I’d still be curious.
