In @matthewclifford letter today he surfaces a post about why more well-paid tech workers don't quit to pursue their passions. It's a good question I've wondered since its easy to meet bored/disaffected/well-paid finance folk too

A few links...

But I enjoyed the responses to the post more including the one from @andy_matuschak https://applieddivinitystudies.com/handcuffs_email/?utm_campaign=Matt%27s%20Thoughts%20In%20Between&utm_medium=email&utm_source=Revue%20newsletter

Matt thinks upper middle class precarity is a driver and he linked to this:

My favorite response was from an anonymous who talked about people being "reactively minded for lack of a better term"

A question I didn't see addressed in any of this is what rate of defection from high-paying jobs to pursue a passion job would be "normal"? I'd presume the natural defection rate would be very low, but that probably says more about me then anything else. Anyway, enjoy the posts
