Remember this, that your income must be commensurate not to your skills or your talents but to THE AMOUNT OF ENERGY you put into your job. If you have to drive miles on end, stay up nights, deal with stupid people, waste your time and your resources, and are being paid a mere pittance that won't even cover your bills and your shopping expenses, YOU ARE DOING YOURSELF A GREAT DISSERVICE and are in the wrong job.

The real hero is not he who has a thankless job but he whose salary is commensurate to the energy he expends.
