if you're only in it for the money i don't think white hat is your calling.

Of course it is, but you’re not in it for anything but the money.

I don’t want to be into my job for the money. It is just a necessary byproduct of doing work I otherwise enjoy.

Totally untrue.

I'm just in it for the money. I've achieved success, I'm really good at my job and I'm still going strong almost 20 years later. Wouldn't do it if it didn't pay the bills.

"I want big money with no risk."

Not going to happen.

You should consider moonlighting.

Surely there's a money angle. I'm looking for a new career.

You’re selling your life, focusing on chasing ever more money is a poor trade IMO.

Not saying you have to join a non profit, just consider what you want to work on, who you want to work with, and the kind of hours you want to put in.

I only work for money.

JohnFen | karma 30257 | avg karma 1.9 · | 2021-07-29 07:21:46

Well, I don't have much choice! Without passion for it, I would have no career. I couldn't keep doing this if it were just about the money.

i agree, dont expect to make a living at it.

A career should be about what you want to do, not about how much money you can make.

VoodooJuJu | karma 2612 | avg karma 2.88 · | 2023-07-18 19:41:16

I'm only doing this shit for the money, but I don't know if I can weather the bullshit.

mping | karma 964 | avg karma 1.75 · | 2010-05-11 18:10:25+00:00

Just a minor advice. If you do it mostly for the money, you won't be near as successful as if you do it because you are passionated about it.

Someone had to say this :P

Hell, I've been doing this for 13 years (professionally, more like 20 total) and at this point I only care about the money too. Everything else about this industry is not great, honestly.

bastardoperator | karma 3323 | avg karma 2.86 · | 2023-01-24 08:56:20

I don't work for titles, I work for money.

Find another field where you're happier. Chasing money isn't worth it.

Picking a career purely for profit and being good enough at it without passion to compete with the passionate people shows a calculated grit and intelligence that I think you might be passing on. You might be missing the person who can make the calculated decisions without emotional investment, the person who can give you hard truths as to the viability of the business, the person who can take their personal out of decisions and act.

You wanna make money but don't wanna work for it?

pessimizer | karma 33733 | avg karma 2.47 · | 2023-06-14 15:41:57

What if they don't want to be in that business?

kristopolous | karma 15012 | avg karma 3.59 · | 2015-05-06 09:35:49+00:00

There's nothing wrong with wanting to do it as a lifelong career. There's plenty of well-adjusted responsible adults that do. I just don't think it will be my decision, personally.
