> When I was most highly paid, I found the work the most meaningless. And the flipside is most socially meaningful work (things required to keep our society functioning smoothly) are either underpaid or completely unpaid. Teachers, care givers, nurses, EMTs, police, musicians, chefs, and similar professions are systematically denied money because it's assumed the person should gain satisfaction solely from their work. Asking for money AND fulfilling work is considered greedy. High salary is a reward only for the people who suffer through long unrewarding hours (usually through endless bullshit of their own making).
