"
Cake walk?" Your words. You quote me, insert your words, and ask me to agree? How is a "
cake walk" relevant to pay?
Pay does not emeliorate stress, nor emotional nor mental affliction. It can reduce fiscal stress. A comfortable pay does not mean, nor imply that one will be unaffected by stresses, nor does it imply that one manages that pay effectively.
Furthermore, simply becuase one has a good job that one may enjoy does not mean that pay is therefore excessive; to make such a connection is a fallacy, and implies that good pay is only acceptable if one dislikes one's job or finds it a hardship (the unspoken collorary to which is that one's pay should be reduced if the job is easy or enjoyable). Idiotic.
If making the comparison to those who live lives of poverty or hardship, your question implies that if the job is easy ("a cakewalk"), then it implies overpay relative to those who have a harder life or lower pay. It overlooks the obvious; that those in poverty are underpaid, which is far more conducive to stress and subsequent hardship, and mental and emotional toll. If indeed we are overpaid then that doesnot contribute to mental or emotional abnormality, unless one suffers from guilt associated with the pay. Either way, a pointless sidetrack to the thread.
Whether we are overpaid or not is irrelevant to the subject of the thread.
