After my years of working, I've come to realise:
- more challenging work usually mean more responsibilities, more OT
and less time for myself and family (can be financially rewarding
but not enough time to enjoy)
- the ideal, meaningful / interesting job usually means getting low
pay which could hardly sustain a comfortable lifestyle without
living hand-to-mouth (remember your wifey kitty fund?)
After a while, it is basically the same thing, day-to-day - that's
worklife.
