I just wish overall that the value of people wasn't determined by their occupation.  Not everyone gets their fulfillment from their job either.  Some people choose low stress jobs (which often pay very little) in order to maintain mental and emotional health or for a flexible schedule that allows them to care for children or parents or even a spouse.

This would be me. All my education and aptitude assessments suggest I have the knowledge and aptitude to do well in several areas that could pay 6 figures if I pursued them aggressively. But I don’t have any desire to do those things and I’d be very unhappy doing them.
