That there are hard jobs everywhere and hard jobs are… hard?

I would also bet stats show suicide rates are higher in other industries.

These are some of the most balanced and progressive organizations between pay and lifestyle.

If your golden ticket is so toxic go get a job that is not at 1/3 the pay. You’ll still be richer than most and I would bet many still find a way to be miserable.
