Job 1 pays 100k. You don't have to work at all - you can surf the internet all day. However, you do have to be in your office 40 hrs a week.

Job 2 pays 150k. You actually have to work. Job 2 comes with the usual amount of stress/irritation associated with a corporate mid-six figure job.



People who pick job 2 lack creativity

I could surf or read all day for 100K. Private office, too? Hell yeah.

1 easily. I have a wife who also contributes to the household finances. If I had a wife with a shite job, or who didn't work I would choose 2.

This is kinda similar to my current situation, except I work from home, so I don't have to be in an office for 40 hours a week. I could get a job where I have to travel and work much more diligently, and could double my income, but it's not worth it.

Having a mindless job is absolutely miserable. Job 2 will keep you going

another pre-tax 50k isn't worth going from ZERO stress/hassle/headache to normal job stress. It's not even debatable IMO

I already make over 100k and surf TD just about all day with maybe about 15 hours of work during the week.
