No, I'm going to stay in the military. I didn't say that enjoying what I do is the only reason. The topic is, what matters the most. Every single one of those options applies to what is important in choosing my job, but knowing that I will be doing something I like at my job is the most important to me.
Benefits. Wages don't matter as much as benefits for your family. We just had someone come into school (alternate school program called youthbuild) and he graduated from the program 7 years ago and made 70k last year, and said that it would have meant nothing if he hadn't had full medical benefits for his family cause he has 5 kids at age 24. So consider that greatly when looking for a job. And May I suggest using this http://www.imatchskills.org/ That might help anyone looking for employment.

lol well someone's gotta work there Besides, if working at a place like Denny's enables them the time, energy, and lifestyle necessary to pursue their art, more power to them.
EDIT: And you most likely did spend all your time and money to get stuck in job where you don't really use a lot of your skills (unless you're in a technical profession). At least until you're considered an "experienced professional" or you get really f-ing lucky when you land a job.
No its called going to college for a career that matters, its called going to the right college so you have contacts and job offers set up before you leave college, its called making something of your life and not riding the wave hoping for the best. Basically its called not being stupid.
What goods a paycheck with no Benefits? Especially if you have a larger family, or even a small family for that matter. For instance, I'd rather take a job with $14/Hour with Full benefits over a Job with $17/Hour with NO Benefits. That's $480 more a month sure. However The average insurace nowadays is getting spendy. A lot of it going over $500 a Month for 70% Coverage not including additional bills. Which would mean you'd in turn be making less with the $17/Hour Job if that were the case. Don't let the Numbers fool you, find out everything about the Job and the Benefits/Career Plans
your going to have to pursue higher education if you want any substantial pay increase. This isn't the 1960s where you can graduate high school, go work at a GM plant, marry and buy a house 5 years later..
I think it's all about enjoying what you do. I chose to be in nursing because I want to help people. My math professor said he could have an office job where he could earn twice his current salary but turned it down because he likes teaching instead. Maybe some people care more about money than liking what they do.
