Who said anything about getting paid badly or working overtime. All I say was that life is to short to waste in a job you don't care about.

The OP said dont make your job your life, which I think is bad advice because 40 hours a week is a lot of hours to just piss away.

edit: actually, I just re-read what he wrote and is said, dont make your _company_ your life. which I kind of agree. I will amend my original.
