Really Hard question about Erin Brockovich

Michael --

I'll disagree with you here. The money is not what makes the job interesting or fun for most people. Studies have shown that in the past.

I just wanted to say that it is possible to be paid $150/hr or even $250/hr doing something you love to do and not have any fun on the job. I've been there.

Also reference some older threads on this board where Gordon and I talk about when doing what you love to do turns into the monkey on your back as it becomes your livelihood.

Consider also that raising wages to $200/hr for street sweepers (economic issues aside) would have people trying to get the jobs. But their work habits and ability to take apply themselves to their work and improve their results will be identical to when they were paid $5/hr.

Just some thoughts. I'm short on time right now so we'll leave it at that!
