Of course money is the #1 criteria for young folks but being miserable
even if making lot's of money sucks.

Three months was my limit for any job I didn't enjoy. One evening at the
Cafe Lena I overheard two couple that looked like 'young professionals' at
the adjacent table talking between acts. The topic: how much our jobs
suck. All four of them hated whatever they were doing.

It's not always that easy. If you have never been able to learn anything
useful, the job offer is limited. When you have two opportunities will
good salaries, it's easy to pick the most enjoyable one even if it means
a little bit less money. But if anybody can take the jobs you can
choose, then the probability that the offers are at the same time poorly
remunerated and uninteresting is high.

OK, I know, the rightists will say that if you have never learned
anything useful, it's because you are an unmotivated failure. And the
leftists will say that it's all because of the system. But, it's the
reason I never talk politic here, it's because the reality is in the
middle. What you do in your life is part of luck and part of what you
did by yourself in the past. So telling others what they should do when
you know nothing about them is a bad thing to do.
