pKrema: What does working yourself to death actually mean?! You can be working yourself to death being the boss and same being the worker... Doctors, lawyers...well paid and prestigious but highly stressful professions...but the funny bit is that a plumber can make much more with less work and keep it down to almost no stress... It depends on the status desire or being wise...or talented...
As always you are right. We unfortunately are very egotistical creatures, in that we will do a job that equals our intelligence, but I must say not always, as it also depends on the education, and funds available to most, while others will create their own funds, by doing menial jobs, to achieve their heart's desires. The higher the education and intelligence, the chances are the more stressfull the jobs, and the easier to suffer stress related illnesses. So what do we actually achieve by our high-level jobs?
