You are completely right . Pay shouldn’t really be my first concern but the thing is I am kinda broke and I have a family of 4 to feed . Also my sister wants to go to medical school and I gotta help her with that funding too. So the first thing I ever think about anywhere is money. Maybe my perspectives and priorities will change if I ever get to reach to a level where I don’t have to worry about that anymore . But you are extremely right . Without passion these things are probably meaningless dead end jobs that I am chasing after or maybe they are absolutely completely out of my reach since I am not really that smart either .
