Prostitution doesn&#x27;t stop being prostitution just because you accept a lower rate. If it&#x27;s prostitution to take the highest paying job, it&#x27;s prostitution to take any pay at all.<p>There are certainly other factors to consider than just salary, but to dismiss that consideration as &quot;prostitution&quot; is absurd. Money may not buy happiness, but it buys everything else. I&#x27;m a big fan of food, clothing, and shelter, all of which money can buy in abundance.<p>But I was lucky to pick a field with high pay and lots of good employers, so I have the luxury of choosing both.
