Both why I do well at the day job (despite all the screaming) since if offers both personal satisfaction AND self direction...and enough money that I'm willing to do it...and the volunteer trailwork that I spend a significant amount of day job money on (indeed, while there is a large amount of physical labor, best results require significant cognitive action and planning).
The very best people don't care about the money...as long as they are paid enough...money is nice, but someone who is following the money avidly is almost certainly not the person who has the passion and commitment to be the best at the job...and is likely unwilling to put up the BS that is linked to the money.
