Who wouldn't want big money? Then again, some don't want to make the sacrifices required to get there. It's all in how you choose to live your life. Do you want to work to live or live to work? My ex was trying hard to get to the top early on in our marriage. To the point that he took a whole 2 hours off work when we had our first child, and those two hours were to get me to the hospital while I was in labor. He worked 6 days a week, 12 hours a day back then and he missed her whole infancy. We definitely had different views about what was more important. I would rather make enough money to be comfortable without my job being my whole life. I work in IT now and I don't make as much money with my current company as I could other places. However, I have 6 weeks vacation/sick time per year and I don't have to carry a pager ever! For some people, some things are more important than money. And, I'm not saying that's bad for those people.. you need to live your life the way you choose, it just isn't for everybody.
