I get restless. I think I'm just a pretty dissatisfied person. I want to do great things.I want to make more money. I want to have the choice to retire young. I want to be happy.
If I was sentenced to 40 years of randomly assigned work then I'd just clock in and clock out, but I get to do something I love at an exorbitant salary. With a taste of that I'm going fight for positions where I can do more of what I love and make more money. I don't really care about keeping up with people or prestige, I care about freedom.
I'd be making less than half of what I do now if I had stayed at my first job. This buys my freedom sooner.
