Would a 40 hour a week, 40k a year job make you happy?
Based on my own opinion and taste, that's what I definitely think.
I had heard that. Wonder why they don't export here. Seems like that could be a great source of income for the cattlemen there. I bet there is some kind of beef lobby here that makes it illegal.
"I am sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and you disagree with this administration somehow you're not patriotic. We should stand up and say we are Americans and we have a right to debate and disagree with any administration." - Hillary Clinton, 2003
If I'm doing a mindless and boring job, I'd need a HELL of a lot more money than that.
“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
- John 13:34-35 (NRSV)
Well that's my own personal experience... I personally don't like the beef here in the US, as cows are often (not always, but often) kept in cramped conditions. In Argentina, cows are let to roam where-ever they want.
"You like a salty after taste?"
If there are any sexual overtures to that comment, I'll just turn a blind eye.
For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night. This is the violence of institutions -- indifference, inaction, and decay. This is the violence that afflicts the poor, that poisons relations between men because their skin has different colors. - Bobby Kennedy (Mindless Menance of Violence)

Stipulations: You are GUARANTEED the job for life.
Hypothetically useful but practically impossible. Going by the job description I'd leave eventually anyway so no plus point. So that's a
You will never, ever, ever get promoted or get raises past inflation's effect.
Definitely With my talents and abilities I have been offered this potential on a platter with much better pay rises and bonus.
The job is mindless and boring, while not physically demanding or hard, it is boring as hell.
Definitely a no-no. My job is pretty challenging.
You get 2 and a half weeks of paid vacation a year and good health benifits/insurance.
I get 5 weeks at the moment. Health benefits/insurance aren't really necessary in the UK but I do get them. By current exchange rates I already earn more money than $40k and work less hours than 40 a week. So you haven't tempted me
Would this job make you happy?
Speaking of Erith:

Well if I get that job guaranteed for life, I would show up only occasionally, asking how things are, resting a bit, chating a bit and then go home after 2 hours.
Since I got a warranty on that job for life, they cannot fire me!
As things stand now I'd say yes to the job. $40k a year is much more than what I get now (unemployed), but only if I'm allowed to leave (when I find another job) anytime
