No. No no no.

I make six figures and hardly work at all. As a dishwasher I used to bust my ass and make 7 dollars per hour. In my experience, the less you work, the more money you make. Everyone I've talked to in real life, who has worked both shitty jobs and high paying jobs, has the exact same experience.

I agree. I am paid more now than I ever have been in my life and I work less than I ever have. One of my roomates has worked in kitchens all his life and I assure you he works a hell of a lot harder than I ever did, yet makes a pittance.
