I felt that to have a job - any job - in academic physics was a preivilege. People sometimes scoff at academica because of the relatively low pay. But I had seen too many adults work too many hours at jobs they did not like in order to amass things they only thought they needed, and then, decades later regret their "wasted" years. And I had seen my father work long, arduous hours just to make ends meet. I had vowed to have a better life than that. The most valuble asset I figured I could earn was the ability to spend my time doing something I liked.

How very true. Society demand that we make a contribution. Otherwise you will be an outcast.
