Jobs I wouldn't take for any amount of money.
- because you have more than a modicum of humanity inside you. ❤️
  
  Well yes, but even if not I also don't want to have to look over my shoulder everywhere I go.
  
  They are going to hire private security, with their endless profits.
- That's a crazy choice in my opinion. Brian Thompson made what, 10 million a year? They could pay me 1/4 of his salary and I'd do everything I could to destroy the company until I got fired. I'd get AT LEAST one paycheck which would be a life-changing amount of money for the majority of the country.
- If you were hired as a CEO and you were paid tens or hundreds of millions of dollars, you would have the financial means to help a lot of people. You could buy apartment complexes and lower the rent. You could open up homeless shelters. You could start a food pantry. You could buy medical debt and write it off. You could pay for legal funds to help domestic abuse victims.
  The problem with people making millions or billions a year is that they don't use their wealth to help others.
