Some people only get jobs to get a salary. They are not really about doing anything worthwhile. Many of us spend years working in jobs in which we have no genuine interest. Money-motivated people are idiots. If you only ever do things which you really want to do, you will usually become extremely good at doing them. I am probably almost a robot. I am happy about what I did in my working life. I had one job, which had an overbearing boss. If he was alive today and offered that job, I would pay to do it again. My boss never knew the workings of what I did. It was really funny when on one day after I had been there for ten years, he came and watched me work. He was horrified and said 'I know what I don't want to know' and he fled. But he came back later and thanked me. Between the two of us, we actually achieved.
He was a specialist in the physical properties and heat treatment of steel, and I created the automated chemical analysis system.
