These comments are absurd considering farmhands get paid minimum wage to shovel huge pieces of manure
2 comments

Each person’s opportunity cost is different. A farmhand shoveling huge pieces of manure for minimum wage probably does not have better options, whereas a software developer already earning a few hundred thousand does.
Former software developer now ex-con. I would take this job for $50000. Also acceptable, $30000. Sad reality, I worked way way worse for way less than either of those two dream salary ranges.
It's the singing arias about it that people are balking at.
