It would be nice if you could even try to empathise with the poor and married guys who desperately need the money and have a young family left at home alone. Most will never reach the levels of career satisfaction that you have.
It is amazing that you have the nerve to come onto these forums and write stuff like that. For every guy who made it to a job like yours there is at least 1000 who didn't.
