Is this a serious question

Job 2

That top tier medical insurance Job 1 has is not gonna do you no good when you keel over and die from a heart attack caused by working too much

 

[The Pledge]

Job 1

 

[Umoja]

Depends on the job.

Assuming that 75 hours doesn't include shower thoughts and dinner parties, job 2.

 

[Amerikan Melanin]

Always job 2. fukk chaining yourself to a job because of high pay

 

[WIA20XX]

Job 2, easily.

Just on the $'s alone, punching out powerpoints and excel spreadsheets in Uganda, Vietnam, or Brazil would be better than any 175K job that's a 35 minute trip into city in the advanced economies.

Job 2. I pay for my own health insurance anyway and I could those hours retired with I wanted to.
