For the last week I have been going through an interview process for a new job where I would run the dinning facilities for one of the biggest University hospitals in the midwest. I currently run kitchens in the healthcare field but this would move me way up, upwards to $100k/yr., Full health & benifit package, 3wks paid vacation, 35 employees under me, and lots of potential to do it on a national level. When we got to the final part, I informed them that I was willing to take a nose raping once a week, but no jab. The guy said I could talk exemptions with H&R but full vax is required. Today I respectfully declined the job! This was the greatest opportunity of my career, but I couldn't justify taking the jab for money. Its slightly bitter sweet as I may never be afforded an opportunity this big again, but I dont think had I broke my morals, I could look at myself....So I'll just remain a "second class citizen"

Money's purpose is to solve problems. It is better to think of money in terms of problems solved, and not problems solved in terms of money. If your mode of pursuing money produces more problems you are effectively making negative money when we look at the real currency of life.

Under value equivelence theory any metric of value can be converted to another and we can think in terms of time, money, gold, energy, or risk. We can convert all value into one and think in those terms. Risk is honestly the best one to convert to. How much risk does 100k a year exstinguish. All else being equal it's quite a lot for most people. But if it introduces a serious risk, then it is negative money. If instead we found a job for $80,000, how much risk would the $20,000 on top of a 80k salary solve? There may not be enough risk left over in an 80k life that any additional money could ever make up for it.
