Yeah, the library job may not pay any better, but he still likes it a lot better than his "office bitch" job. Speaking of which, there is more to satisfaction at the job than how much it pays. There are many stories of people with high-paying but also highly stressful jobs (the two frequently go together) leaving those jobs for something lower paying but less stressful and more satisfying.
I doubt Marten could handle a high-paying but high-stress office job, like manager or VP or something else like that. Heck, I doubt he even WANTS one of those types of jobs. And as for taking a "safer" career path, well, with the economy and job market the way it is these days, I'm not sure there even is such a path any more. Companies merge and acquire each other daily, and when those deals are finalized employees are often laid off by the dozens, hundreds or even thousands, depending on size of the companies involved. This is basically what happened to Marten's office bitch job after all, and it's happened to people with more skills and experience than him. People who've worked their way up the ladder over years, reaching a pinnacle of pay and position, only to lose it in a layoff and ending up having to take a job making half or less what they did before. It's a story repeated over and over again across all kinds of career fields. In this kind of economy, you mind as well take a shot at something like a music career.
Your career path may be fairly secure now, stout, but don't count on it lasting. Most of us are vulnerable to an economic downturn, budget cut, business failure or merger/acquisition.

Indeed, the library job isn't "crappy", it was his office bitch job that was crappy. And it wasn't because it didn't pay well.
Seemed obvious to me, but meh. I was supposed to be agreeing to disagree. :roll:

Changed for avoiding a lawsuit I guess.
