I think you have it backwards.<p>If all jobs got roughly the same remuneration, most people would take the easy fun job, as much as they claim otherwise.<p>People don&#x27;t leave their jobs as parking lot attendants because they&#x27;re not challenged. They leave because they want to buy a new TV, a car, and some fly threads.<p>If I could make as much reading all day in a little box, occasionally handing people their change, as I do in tech, I&#x27;m going to that parking lot.<p>It&#x27;s not the blue-collar jobs you&#x27;d have trouble filling. It&#x27;s the lawyers, doctors, accountants, and so forth.<p>Outside of the hobby careers (like tech, architect, etc.), most white-collar jobs suck terribly.
