@Monday before college i sat at a desk for almost six years. 30k/y before taxes and insurance was "making it" after working in food service for just as many years for half as much w/o insurance and longer hours. any wage job requires that kind of head-down silence.
so yes, i would. i did.
now? i don't know if would get out of bed for less than 20/h. granted, my wife works now (we traded) and makes way more money than i even did. so admittedly i have that privilege.
