Funny thing missing from this thread: Money. Doesn&#x27;t anyone work for money anymore? You know, that stuff that allows you to survive day to day? I guess it just sounds better to say that you go to work to &quot;change the world&quot; or &quot;fulfill a lifelong passion&quot; or &quot;grow your career&quot;. Saying you&#x27;re in it for money is crass. If I want personal fulfillment or engaging projects or ping pong, I can do that outside of work, AND I get to pick and choose what I want to do. Would you really do what you do for 1&#x2F;3 of your life if you didn&#x27;t receive compensation for that time?
