I like money because I like eating and owning a quality computer. Past that, it's not so important to me. Some people's needs expand to fit their income only to discover that money can't buy happiness. Others pick jobs that either (a) pay them to do what they love or (b) leave enough free time to enjoy life. If we all cared deeply about money, we'd be studying, networking, playing office politics, and job surfing instead of posting to Plug.
Posting to PLUG rules. Good point. But though I know that money doesn't buy happiness, money does open possibilities -- good and bad. If you desire to do good things, money can be a practical way to enhance your ability to do good things. I think it's wise to assume that the want of more money is a greedy, selfish, even wicked ambition. However, this completely depends on your motivations for obtaining more money and what you would do with the money if you acquired it. In some cases you may just be wanting to afford a more comfortable life for your family -- nothing wrong with that. In other cases, you may have unselfish goals beyond that.
Forget about being rich. As long it pays a living wage, do what you love. Don't love your job? It's an employee's market right now, do something you love.
I whole heartily agree with your last sentence. If you like where you're at, then good for you. If not, you have no one to blame but yourself. -Bryan /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
