It's love for my profession that keep me coming back, not the money. I'd work as hard to make $50.00 as I would $5,000.00. I never scoff at an opportunity to earn a living, regardless of the size of the carrot at the end of the stick.
True wealth isn't measured by what you have making you happy, true wealth is measured by being happy with what you have.
When one door shuts... sometimes it's best to leave it shut, and move on...
