Fair enough PPF#!, I see your point - as always, very eloquently put!
However, how about I train you to be a Chartered Accountant; it's very easy and money is very good and then, when you've qualified, I can have your job?
When you are too bitter to enjoy your job, then that is the time to get out, just as there are Project Managers and ACAs on this site wanting to retrain in a different career because THEY realise it is time to get out.
PPF#1, there are other things you can do, if you really want to.
