I was a day laborer before I went into tech or got an education. And (like most people, I suspect) I do care about living an interesting life-- I just didn't know that I was trading that away. Didn't figure it out for a long time, actually.

I did. I left Google to take a job that is both more interesting and that leaves me more time to do interesting things.
