it's not about the money, it's about the passion/reasons why one would be in the job, to support their family/because they love it/because it's a stepping stone to what they want to achieve/do they help themselves or is there a bigger more moral reason behind what they do. so yea it is something i would consider a reflection of the person. a person who just works for the status and money is a loser in my eyes.
Work like you don't need the money. Love like you've never been hurt. Dance like nobody's watching
