You have two options for a job:

A. Boring big corporation paying $80k.

B. Boring big corporation paying $160k, but you need to spend a few weeks practicing to pass their tests before joining.

Many people say they choose A since they don't want to waste their free time coding, like the guy I responded to. That is just plain stupid. Money is ultimately free time, you don't have to work as long as you have money, and many of these well paying companies lets you go down in time.
