When I moved to spain and worked for Mercedes on an apprenticeship with the opportunity to go and study in Barcelona, I dont tell people how much it cost me I tell people how it was a great experience. Which leads me onto different people wanting different things, as you know as you have said. I see life as too short to live in one place ALL my life and work for one company all my life and have a career.
Why do people push a career so much, yeh you earn more when you are at the top than the bottom. But you can make just as much money doing stuff that isnt a career job. I want to explore the world, get experience in differnt sectors and areas, learn shit. I dont want to be stuck in one place all my life for the sake of a career. Being stuck in one tiny place compared to the whole world isnt for me. Only get one life. Exagerate it. Live on the same street all your life and stay within you city, even for holidays and stuff or move around the world, gain experience of different jobs, communitys people, lifestyles etc! that means more to me than being able to say im in a career job earning so n so much.
Thats my opinion.

dont get me wrong, i'd never chase the money to the point where i was doing something i hated in order to earn a lot more, job satisfaction is important too, its all about that ballance

yeah, that's fair enough
