I love my job and it pays me enough to not worry about it. The secret is living in any western country except the U.S.
๐ the US has plenty of not the majority of high paying jobs. Working in high skill STEM pays absurdly good.
It's like skill jobs that get fucked.
The absolute number doesn't matter much if the expenses of living in the STEM-riddled areas are just as high, if not higher.
Remote work fixes that for many people
