"Work isn't to make money; you work to justify life."
Marc Chagall
All thing being equal, with money is better..............Mark was an artist 1889-1987, or there abouts. The picture is my art work
I went on a job interview one time. The interviewer asked me "What motivates you, what makes you get up in the morning?"
Without a pause I stated "money." I thought that was one of the stupidest interview question....... I do not work for the good of mankind, I work to pay bills and I like to eat. I can not afford to be altruistic. As the interview went on she told me what the salary was and it was $10/hr less than I was making.
I said to her. "Quite frankly, I make more than that now. But I believe we are wasting each others time. I thank you for your time and consideration. Good bye."
They never did fill that positon and about a month later I saw they had upped their salary. I never did call them back. It was not worth the drive.

I agree, who wouldn't work if they didn't need the money?
betty
I'm doing med collection work as I type this. They have me on hold; I will assume they will try to keep me on hold until 6pm when the insurance office closes, then hang up on me :-).
In the past I was utterly absorbed in my work; it definitely was not just the money. Presently, that has changed. I am working on the absorbed thing. I actually quite prefer that. ~Mary
