How do you find motivation to sell your life for peanuts?

6 points by kphild 12 years ago · 6 comments · 1 min read


Many of you work for peanuts. How do you rationalize that? What do you do to be able to look into the mirror every morning? Is an hour of your life really worth 50 bucks?

Not trying to be rude, just trying to force myself to work on a project.

Try changing your perspective. See each 50 bucks as an opportunity to do something of benefit to you, rather than focusing on wasted time of life.

Wow, I don't even know where to start. This OP is so insanely arrogant and ignorant, I can't even find the words to describe it.

    I actually got a good laugh out of it personally.It sounds like something an honest kid would ask. Refreshing.

50 bucks an hour doing something I like is a lot better than nothing.

go work in foodservice for a little perspective.

    But that's exactly the point! We're not working in foodservice. We have much better competencies. Less than one million Americans have the abilities required to be programmers. (That's less than 0.5% of the population!)
