Why wouldn't you want to master something you do for a living? Who would want to permanently struggle?

There's a big area between mastery and struggling plus the cost of mastery is time investment with no obvious financial reward for example!

So what you're saying is you're fine with being mediocre, as long as your compensation sits at a local optimum?

Yeah pretty much!

Sounds boring but whatever floats your goat...
